R+Co BLEU and Garren Bring Pinup Perfection to Anna Sui at NYFW Fall/Winter 2025

New York Fashion Week is always a spectacle of creativity, but at Anna Sui, the runway is a full-sensory experience where fashion, hair, and makeup seamlessly blend into one bold statement. For the Fall/Winter 2025 show, this vision came to life through the collaboration of legendary designer Anna Sui, makeup artist Pat McGrath, and hairstylist Garren, co-founder of R+Co and R+Co BLEU.

Garren, an icon in the world of hairdressing, took inspiration from the timeless glamour of Dita Von Teese and the classic pinup aesthetic. The result? A flawlessly polished, vintage-inspired look that perfectly complemented Sui’s “Madcap Heiress” collection. Using the high-performance, editorial-quality formulas of R+Co BLEU, Garren crafted voluminous, high-shine styles with signature bumper bangs—an unmistakable nod to Old Hollywood elegance.

The R+Co BLEU Formula for Iconic Style

Garren and his team relied on the science-backed formulations of R+Co BLEU to achieve the show-stopping looks. Each product played a crucial role in delivering fullness, shine, and lasting memory to ensure the styles held up under the runway lights.

Essential Hair Tonic set the foundation, giving bounce and memory to all hair types.

Magnifier Thickening Spray prepped finer textures for added volume.

Smooth & Seal worked to eliminate frizz and protect the hair during heat styling.

Cult Classic Flexible Hairspray provided polish, control, and a long-lasting hold for the perfectly rolled bumper bangs.

Step by step, Garren sculpted each model’s hair into a sophisticated, high-impact style. After setting curls with Velcro rollers and ensuring the signature bumper bangs were smooth and secure, the final touch was a mist of Cult Classic Flexible Hairspray to lock in the look with soft, flexible hold.

A Legacy of Hairdressing at NYFW

As a long-time collaborator of Anna Sui, Garren continues to bring his visionary approach to runway hair. His work for NYFW Fall/Winter 2025 was no exception—elevating classic pinup aesthetics with modern technique and R+Co BLEU’s innovative formulations. With photographers capturing the magic backstage, Garren’s expertise and R+Co BLEU’s performance-driven products shone as key players in creating a show that was more than just fashion—it was an unforgettable, fully realized artistic moment.
