The protagonist is a very specific aesthetic, halfway between cinematic hairstyles worthy of this important day, and less elaborate and more intimate heads. The common thread is the lightness and gracefulness of the hairstyles themselves, «think as if the air were sculpted, giving it movement, to make the invisible visible».
«Luxurious but never ostentatious hairstyles but rather light and delicate. And which also recalled the pastwith details reminiscent of those that can be seen in family albums and which reveal all their romanticism. But in this case very contemporary, if not futuristic” said Filetti.
Timeless elegance or contemporary romance, two types of bridal hairstyles
The collection can be divided into two souls, Timeless Clean And Poetic Flow. The first embodies timeless elegance, the second instead a lighter and more modern romanticism.
Two different visions translate with sophisticated hairstyles, almost architectural but also very essential. As for the bridal version of the classic ponytail. In this case Filetti plays the ponytail in two different ways: the first is the one called Ponytail Bijoua series of entanglements which enrich the tail embellished with a sculptural wave on the top. The second tail is instead low, vaguely rockabilly, very graphic and with a sleek effect.
For lovers instead of bunFiletti proposes the model CoutureThat it is very reminiscent of a ball of yarn, it has a well-defined central line and an almost mirrored finish so as to make it contemporaryor it Cloud Chignonimpalpable and airy, soft that slightly covers the forehead and very romantic.
For loose hair, instead, we focus on weaves that also enrich the half-updos. Is called Romantic Spiga the semi-updo made up of several braids for a tubular and three-dimensional effect that is very reminiscent of Princess Rapunzel while Bohemian plot it is more sinuous and fluid, very elaborate and perfect for a very romantic wedding.
Finally, to make your loose hair unique, you can opt for small and light braids made on an already worked base with large waves. For a Botticellian effect.
