Odile Gilbert for Kérastase Paris created an interest braided chignon that was chic, sophisticated and elegant for the Jason Wu Summer Spring 2013 show. Inspired by Helmet Newton, the hair was sectioned, African braided, and tucked underneath to create a intricate yet classic shape that complemented Wu’s take on lace and leather.
