New York Fashion Week always delivers when it comes to setting the tone for the season’s hottest trends. This February, Wavytalk took center stage as the official hair tools sponsor for the SIMKHAI Fall/Winter 2025 runway show, ensuring every model walked with flawless, fashion-forward hair.
From the sleekest straight strands to effortless waves, our tools—Turblow Pro, Vent Sesh, Curlmaker Pro, and Micro Wave—were the secret behind the stunning hair looks that graced the runway. And the Wavytalk experience didn’t stop there. We extended the backstage magic to a VIP event at SIMKHAI’s Soho store, where guests got a firsthand taste of runway-ready hair with expert styling sessions.
Backstage at SIMKHAI: The Art of Effortless Glam
The SIMKHAI FW25 collection embodied modern elegance, and the hair looks followed suit—a perfect balance of sleek sophistication and laid-back waves. Our backstage stylists used the best of Wavytalk to craft two signature styles:
Sleek, Straight & Shiny – Achieved with the Turblow Pro Fast Drying Hair Dryer and Vent Sesh Wide Flat Iron, this look was all about smooth, high-shine strands with a polished finish.
Loose, Effortless Waves – Created using the Curlmaker Pro Rotating Curling Iron and Micro Wave ⅜” Curling Wand, this style captured the movement and ease that defined the SIMKHAI aesthetic.
