To recreate this look, TRESemmé and Celebrity Hairstylist, Justine Marjan shares her tips below:
- Start by prepping dry hair with TRESemmé Extra Hold Hairspray and brush through.
- Use a 1-inch curling iron and create a set with a side part, pinning each section to cool.
- Remove pins and brush through.
- Twist hair into a French twist leaving out some face framing tendrils and pin to secure.
- Mist with TRESemmé Keratin Smooth Weightless Silky Shine Spray and TRESemmé 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.

Every year, NYFW introduces many new and exciting designers and organizations to the fashion landscape, and on Wednesday, February 7, the Sakura Collection made its official debut by holding a reception party at the famous Pierre Hotel.
Sakura Collection, launched by Noriko Tabata (now Representative Director of the brand), was intended to bring the “rich cultural heritage of Japan to the world” through the distribution of traditional Japanese materials to an international audience. Every year, they provide opportunities for young designers by supporting their endeavors, allowing them to create their art with these materials, and helping them learn how to utilize dyeing techniques stemming from all over Japan. Since 2012, they’ve collaborated with thirty-eight fashion designers from fourteen countries.
The Collection also strives for many of these materials to be sustainable, and they continuously promote recyclable fashion to their students. They’ve held over thirty-four award ceremonies, and through their Fashion Design Award, they further advance their Sustainable Development Goals with the intention of “creating a better world.”
After check-in, guests were led to the Wedgewood room, where they sipped on cocktails, ate delightful hors d’oeuvres, and mingled with other attendees before the main event began. A fashion show commenced; The show featured the creations of three of their designers, all of the outfits ranging in structure, fabrics, and colors/patterns. There was a dramatic dance performance, where they showcased the designer’s handmade costumes, and passed around scarves for guests to feel and admire.
When the show concluded, attendees were able to speak to vendors in the room and buy various items from bow ties and archive dresses, to custom-made jackets and dresses; All the funds would be used to further The Sakura Collection’s mission of nurturing their fashion students’ aspirations.
