Award-winning CFDA designer Christian Siriano brought his visually stunning SS26 collection to life at the iconic Macy’s Herald Square.
Let them dance the night away at Gitano NYC.
‘Sexy, elegant, gorgeous, romantic…’—these are just a few of the words designer Christian Siriano used to capture the essence of his new collection in collaboration with GROHE.
New York Fashion Week is all about fashion (obvi). But the truth is, it’s just as fashionable (and fabulous) to be at one of the exclusively held after parties as the runway shows themselves.
For his Fall/Winter 2024 New York Fashion Week show, Christian Siriano implemented glimmering shades of red and orange, reminiscent of a beautiful sunset. The always-iconic show featured models such as Coco Rocha and Daphne Velghe, and included a dazzling featured hairstyle seen on the runway – the ‘Celestial Box Bun’.

These future-inspired styles that TRESemmé Partner & Celebrity Stylist Lacy Redway created, provide a new take on the trending ‘Extra Terrestrial Indulgence’ hair looks that utilize interesting and extravagant textures.
Prior to the show, the backstage area at the Plaza Hotel was a similar situation, with striking hairstyles being created to match the glamorous looks the models would be donning later in the evening. Spearheaded by the talented TRESemmé Partner & Celebrity Stylist, Lacy Redway, the ‘Celestial Box Bun’ emerged as a standout feature, blending elements of futurism with a touch of ethereal elegance.

Redway drew inspiration directly from Siriano’s visionary collection. The aim was to echo the reflective nature of the designs in the hair, while also infusing it with bold and unconventional textures, resulting in a look that exuded both fun and futurism. “My inspiration for this look is quite literally a reflection of Christian’s collection,” Redway said. “When I first saw the clothes, I wanted to mirror the reflectiveness of the designs in the hair while also indulging in blunt and unique textures that make the look feel fun and futuristic.”

The futuristic hair elements complimented the looks flawlessly. Here’s how Lacy Redway achieved the look:
Key Products Used:
- TRESemmé Keratin Smooth Fortifying Heat Protection Spray
- TRESemmé Extra Hold Mousse
- TRESemmé Mega Control Gel
- TRESemmé Keratin Smooth Weightless Silky Shine Spray

- Step 3: Then you blow dry and smooth down the hair and secure it into a coiffed ponytail with an elastic. Apply TRESemmé Mega Control Gel down the center part and apply speckles of gold leaf.
- Step 4: Saturate the ponytail with the TRESemmé Mega control Gel and then fold the hair twice onto itself to form a rectangular flat bun. Secure hair into place with hair pins.
- Step 5: Speckle gold leaf onto the top of the bun using TRESemmé Mega Control Gel.
- Step 6: Then we use the Dyson Supersonic™ r with the flyaway attachment in the high air flow and low heat settings to make sure the specks are set and TRESemmé Keratin Smooth Weightless Silky Shine Spray to smooth the flyaways all over to achieve an effortlessly silky shine.
