Knot Your Typical Ballerina Bun from Aveda

During the Novis spring/summer 2015 runway show, Aveda Guest Artist, Franz Rizzieri, created a sculptural knotted bun to coincide with the details and distinction of the collection. “Frank. “It has natural pieces piking out so it’s not too perfect. It’s definitely graphic, different, but simple looking to match the details of the clothes, but not take away from the collection.”
