Behind the Scenes at Rebecca Minkoff—Where the 1-Curl Beach Wave Was Born

Fashion week commotion from the designer's perspective

The day of a NYFW show is hectic. A day of NYFW when you're taking over an entire SoHo street for your latest collection, however, is mayhem.

 

Only a veteran like Rebecca Minkoff could make it look effortless, though. The designer shared snaps throughout her day with us. Read along for a real inside look at what it's like to be a creative force behind one of the most buzzed-about NYFW shows. Plus, get the full tutorial (only three steps) on how to complete the easiest bent-hair look, ever!

This season, Rebecca mixed models and bloggers on the runway.

For a modern '70s vibe, gentle waves paired with a smoky, mod eye.

Love this hair look? It's made for lazy girls and those who can't curl hair for the life of them. It literally takes one wrap around an iron per hair section. The masterminds at TRESemmé broke it down.

Step 1: Spritz dry, straight hair with dry shampoo at the root for volume. Follow with hairspray. 

 

Step 2: With a one-inch curling iron, wrap hair up and around the barrel one time without using clamp. Iron should be placed in the middle of the length of your hair. Hold for 5-10 seconds and release.

 

Step 3: Pull apart each section for a smooth, undone look. Spray with a touch more hairspray for volume.

 

Pro Tip: Leave ends out entirely. They should be straight but not stick straight. 

With full hair and makeup, models walked two blocks in robes to the show destination: Greene St.

Shirts layered under dresses aren't going anywhere—this trend is just picking up steam.

Fashion BFFs Caroline Vreeland and Shea Marie walked down the runway holding hands.

The signature of a cool-girl look: a leather jacket draped over the shoulders.

The designer walked hand-in-hand with a model for the ultimate finale.

After redefining street style with a show that literally took place on the street, Rebecca's statement jackets literally made statements.
