Kavita

Hip voor nop is a Dutch television show for children. Every week there is a stylist who designs an new outfit for the participants, for nothing. The concept is that the outfit is made with old clothing that the participants don’t use anymore. We are sure you can guess who one of the stylist is of this season. Yess! Yourtrully.

Odair designed an out for Naomi (left) and Cune (right). The girls wanted an outfit which the can wear to the EO jongerendag. The last time the girls visited the festival they lost each other. So the mission for Odair was to design an outfit which stand ups in the crowd.

Naomi’s outfit is made out of 3 old jeans, 1 sweater, 1 blouse, 1 vest and new suspenders. For Cune’s  outfit Odair used 4 old jeans, 4 scarves, 1 vest and also brand new suspenders, but received as a gift. The suspenders can attached together. So the girls cannot loose each other. Watch the whole show here.

Together with the celebrations of 50 years of Farouk hairstyling and innovations, the 19th Bi-annual international conference of Farouk systems was held in Cancun, Mexico from the 18th till the 22nd of september. Of course Odair couldn’t be a missing factor during this grand event as one of Farouk’s designers and stylists. Due to a busy schedule, we finally found some time to have a word with Odair about his experience in Mexico.
How was your experience, what stood out, what did you learn?

Departing
Of course Odair doesn’t go anywhere without all his fabulous DAIR outfits and together with fashion tape, needle, thread, scissors, safety pins, stain remover and, his recently appointed new best friend, a steam cleaner, Odair’s luggage had a funny content. But when asked what the most important things were, he tells us it were his paspoort, debit card, the fashion tape and must have fashion items to create an amazing style every moment.

Cooperation
He had an very pleasant cooperation with the whole team during the event. Farouk systems is an organization with a lot of warm people who have passion for their work. Everyone, from dancer to stylist and from photographer to choreographer aspires to be the very best and is committed to their job. Working in such an environment is extremely motivating. Besides that it was an honor to meet Mr. Farouk himself. It is very inspiring to work with a company that has grown into an empire.

Local fashion trends
As a designer and stylist Odair is breathing fashion every second of the day. In Cancun the fashion trends are sophisticated, feminine and sexy. Fashion trends for men are more macho. Tight jeans, brown thick leather belts, plaid shirt in light shades and buttons […]

Ready for take-off!

On Sunday the 29th of March it was finally time for a new FYI TrendyHair show! We had been looking forward for a while, because TrendyHair sure knows how to keep the entertainment level extremely high.

At the entrance, we were surprised with the fun theme of ‘Xplore’. And did they take us around the world. Starting off in chilly Scandinavia, the TrendyHair crew took us to amongst the most amazing parts of the world. Mesmerized by the mystique of Turkey, dancing in our chairs in Brazil.. All while watching these beautiful models in beautiful clothing, getting the most amazing haircuts. The barbers were truly inspirational and showed us the upcoming hair trends.

As a DAIR team member I might not be entirely impartial here, but Odair outdid himself again. Together with his number one fan, mama Pereira, I sat in the audience with such an extremely proud look on my face, watching all 60 models dressed in DAIR. During the exclusive DAIR block, where Odair showed bits and pieces of his new collection, the audience took out their phones to take pictures and videos. No better sign of success, if you ask me.

I could keep babbling on about how good it looked, but you might want to see for yourself and take a look at Frank Wes’s cool pictures of the entire show. See you there next year?
