Braided Inverted Chignon from CATWALK® by TIGI®

We Are Handsome designers Jeremy and Katinka Somers’ latest collection was inspired by evolution, change and destiny—suited for the independent and individualistic girl—the girl who is confident, yet coy; sophisticated, yet playful; colorful, yet chic. With this in mind, TIGI® Global Creative Director Nick Irwin was tasked with creating a hair style as distinctive and bold as the brand’s new collection of edgy and graphic swimwear. This braided inverted chignon is just that. See how Nick achieved this striking, sexy, runway look!
