Runway trend report: David Jones Wonderworld Spring/Summer

Australia’s leading department store, David Jones unveiled its latest Wonderworld Spring/Summer 2022 Collection at its flagship Elizabeth Street store in Sydney.

Wonderworld featured a diverse range of models showcasing next season’s collections with Aveda Australia being the official hair partner.

Terri Robertson-Kirkwood led the National Aveda Style Team to create the hair look, which was an ode to the natural wonders of the world – inspired by the otherworldly set of the runway. The loosely sleeked back hair, free falling hair was created using Aveda's new Botanical Repair Strengthening Overnight Serum as the hero.

The hair

"Spring is here, and we want to celebrate the season with a hair look that breathes adventure and optimism, very much like the natural wonders of the world," said Robertson-Kirkwood.

"The hair embraces a modern take on a wet-look style, inspired by the bold and bright fashion trends seen on the clothes. The hair shape is sleek, pulled back, but also soft and romantic at the bottom - celebrating spring and nature's curves."

"This look can be easily recreated for the everyday fashion-forward David Jones customer as it has a beautiful healthy and effortless look, wearable from day to night."

Get the look

1. Starting with dry hair, apply generous amounts of Nutriplenish Styling Treatment Foam to saturate hair, using fingers to create separation and texture. Comb product through hair and gently blow dry hair to 50%. The Nutriplenish Styling Treatment Foam adds natural shine, and body, and delivers a flake-free soft hold.

2. For frizz-prone and coarse hair, use Smooth Infusion Style-Prep Smoother from lengths to ends of hair. This lightweight styling primer provides heat protection and frizz defense while protecting against humidity.

3. To create matte-sheen finish for hair, pump generous amounts of the Botanical Repair Strengthening Overnight Serum into the palms. Emulsifying the product in your palms, paint the product on the lengths and ends of the hair with an open palm, not fingers, to ensure the natural texture is maintained. The Botanical Repair Strengthening Overnight Serum will bring split ends back together reducing their appearance while adding a matte-sheen finish.

4. To create more definition and personalisation through the hairline and lengths of the hair, warm an almond-sized amount of Control Paste in palms before applying it to the hair using fingers. The Control Paste is a versatile product that provides a medium hold and pliable texture with a smooth matte finish.

5. Once the hair is styled, lock the finished look in place with Control Force firm hold hair spray. Create more lift at the root area by raking with fingers if required. This hairspray won’t leave hair feeling crunchy or stiff and has a net-zero environmental impact.
