Alison Shipley for MODERN SALON Interview Orlando Pita Backstage at Derek Lam

He called upon Fashion Week king Orlando Pita for T3 and Phyto to create the look for this season's show. "The collection is called Bohemian Minimalism," Pita says, "though the hair is shaped, it still has texture." To begin, the hair was sectioned into three-inch wide parts and sprayed with Phyto Workable Holding Spray and dried with the T3 Featherweight Luxe 2i Dryer. Then, eight braids are created around the head and flatironed with a T3 SinglePass Flat Iron. The braids are left to cool and then brushed out with slight back teasing. Then, it's finished with a severe center part and pinned behind both ears.
