Extensions.com Introduces Fall Hair Trends for 2011 Inspired by Fashion Runways

Dallas, TX (PRWEB) November 07, 2011

After scouring the Fashion Week runways & magazines, the Hair Professionals at Extensions.com have made projections for the top Fall hair trends of the season. With looks that include both messy and sleek hairstyles, Extensions.com launched a campaign for November 2011 that showcases four hair trends inspired by those spotted on the catwalk. What are these trends? The website forecasts the following looks as fashion-forward yet wearable and easy to achieve: Hippie Chic, the Sleek Ponytail, the Retro Flip and Messy Braids.

At first glance, these select trends may seem and appear complicated. But Extensions.com believes that the four looks can be achieved at home without a salon visit. The site teaches viewers how to get the look with exclusive tutorial videos and the simple application of a few clip in hair extensions or hairpieces. Extensions.com regards hairpieces as integral in the creation of many runway and celebrity-inspired hairstyles. The only difference between runway hairstyles and the trendy looks achieved at home, the Hair Professionals say, is that now, anyone can achieve them with a little practice.

With the added touch of a vibrant and trendy seasonal wardrobe, Extensions.com showcases its four picks for Fall 2011 hair trends as seen on the fashion runways. Step-by-step video shows viewers how the Hair Professionals achieved the look they are calling Hippie Chic, a long and straight hairstyle, using 20inch human hair extensions. The Sleek Ponytail trend was completed using a wrap-around pony hairpiece, while the Retro Flip gives a nod to the 1960s with a clip in volumizing extension system. Extensions.com spotted messy braids of all kinds on the Fall runways at Fashion Week, so they recreated the look using heat-friendly synthetic hair extensions to thicken the braid.

Fashionistas can view this exciting Fall trends campaign and watch behind-the-scenes video on the HairTalkTV YouTube channel and at Extensions.com.

ModCloth Continues to Democratize Fashion with Design Contest Debut

San Francisco, CA (PRWEB) November 21, 2011

ModCloth is taking a giant step toward its mission to fundamentally change and democratize the fashion industry with its first crowdsourced fashion design competition. The online retailers Make the Cut Contest is asking for design sketches that align with ModCloths vintage-inspired aesthetic, with participants having the chance for their designs to be put into production in the spring of 2012. ModCloth kicks off this exciting development with the recent addition of Velvet Brigade co-founders Lindsay McConnon and Jena Wang to their team. Lindsay and Jena will be at the helm of a more ambitious and enduring program at ModCloth to support the work of aspiring designers.

Velvet Brigade is a fashion community founded by McConnon and Wang in 2011. They started the site to give aspiring designers the chance to submit sketches for community vote. The best styles were produced and co-branded with the winning designers. We built a wonderful community of designers and voters, but were ready to scale that mission with our work at ModCloth says McConnon. While Velvet Brigade will cease operations, their community is encouraged to participate in ModCloths Make the Cut Contest. We hope Velvet Brigade designers will capitalize on the opportunity to be part of an even bigger and more public platform for their work on ModCloth, says McConnon.

What Lindsay and Jena have accomplished with Velvet Brigade is core to ModCloths mission to fundamentally change and democratize the fashion industry by creating a vibrant social marketplace, and were excited to have their thought leadership here, says Susan Gregg Koger, ModCloths Co-Founder and Chief Creative Officer, on Lindsay and Jenas addition to the ModCloth team. I know what its like to follow your dream and start a small business within the fashion sphere, and we want to help make that happen for talented independent designers and suppliers across the United States and the world.

ModCloth shared an inspiration board and sketches for pieces slated for 2012 production that represent Susans vintage inspiration for spring. Susan and the ModCloth team will select the design finalists and post the finalists on Facebook for the larger ModCloth community to vote. Facebook is the perfect platform to welcome our aspiring designers. Our Facebook community is approximately 400,000 fans strong and generous with their feedback and participation, says Natasha Khan Kazi, ModCloths Social Media Manager. Through our first ever Facebook fashion design competition, we hope to create an ongoing conversation with our ModCloth community, which supports democratizing fashion design. The top 5 designs, announced on December 16, will be produced and featured on the ModCloth site, and the winners will have their name on the tag of their items and receive $ 500.
