To recreate this look, TRESemmΓ© and Celebrity Hairstylist, Justine Marjan shares her tips below:

  1. Start by prepping dry hair with TRESemmΓ© Extra Hold Hairspray and brush through.
  2. Use a 1-inch curling iron and create a set with a side part, pinning each section to cool.
  3. Remove pins and brush through.
  4. Twist hair into a French twist leaving out some face framing tendrils and pin to secure.
  5. Mist with TRESemmΓ© Keratin Smooth Weightless Silky Shine Spray andΒ  TRESemmΓ© Keratin Smooth Weightless Anti-Frizz Finishing Spray to lock in curls for a long-lasting hold and effortless shine.

This year’s collection emphasized the beauty associated with aging. In designer Batsheva Hay’s own words, “I wanted to explore the unique experience of aging. I am now over 40 and feel a new sense of vitality, while also feeling invisible to the world in many ways. I wanted to show how amazing getting older is – in terms of style and so much more. The collection is dignified but explores a sense of freedom and ease.”

Many of the models reflected this non-conventional demographic with makeup and hair accentuating their natural features. Hair stylists opted for clean and elegant looks with the occasional voluminous updo. Strands of hair were cleanly tucked away with hairspray and hair gel.

The collection, paying tribute to the “World Famous Rhino Brand” and the year it was born, seamlessly blended the essence of the past with a bold glimpse into the future. Limited-edition pieces from this exclusive collection became available on ECKO.com the same night, allowing fans to take home a piece of history.

The beats curated by renowned DJ MUGGS from Soul Assassins/Cypress Hill and Blondie Beach set the perfect ambiance for the celebration. The soundscape was a masterful blend of old and new, reflecting the essence of ECKŌ UNLTD’s evolution.

Complimentary beverages flowed generously, providing the perfect accompaniment to toasts raised in honor of three decades of style, creativity, and innovation. Uncle Paulie’s Deli catered for the evening, providing the ideal snack for attendees.
