It was an era that came with a soundtrack of salt, surf and hazy riffs, where irreverent style and relaxed vibes were the order of the day. ‘Wipe Out’ radiates an ease, with graphic 70’s inspired palm prints, man-style shirting, vintage florals and unexpected textures sitting with the signature mini dress. A modern take on the board short emanates a fresh feel for the brand. The Bec + Bridge girl this season is straight out of the water and off to a gig.

The colour palette is rich and sun kissed in deep tones of rust and mustard, accented with shades of violet and ivory.

“The hair has a very natural, slightly androgynous feel with a lived-in textured wave through the mid lengths a narrow silhouette. It is almost as if the girl has naturally curly hair and has been wearing a cap to try and control it,” said Redken Hair Director, Richard Kavanagh.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_single_image media=”65533″ media_width_percent=”100″ alignment=”center” img_size=”full”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]“Vibrant surfer girls, effortlessly sexy. Healthily sun kissed skin, tinted by the afternoon sun and sprinkled in freckles. Boyish youthful brows frame eyes that are spot lit with soft matte splashes of pastel hues in buttery yellow, mint, icy blue, tangerine and lavender,” said M.A.C.
