New York Fashion Week has long been the stage for groundbreaking designs. For the Fall/Winter 2025 season, designer Gabe Gordon delivered with his latest collection, Rubber Boyfriend. Lead hairstyles Dylan Chavles and the Cutler Salon team brought his vision too life through “Americana” and wrestling-inspired hairstyles.
Chavles and her team tapped into the energy of youth culture, nostalgia, and athletic influences to create styles that felt effortlessly cool but undeniably polished.
Chavles embraced elements of vintage sportswear and rebellious subcultures to design styles that felt fresh yet familiar. From tousled, lived-in textures to sleek, sculpted shapes, the hair amplified the collection’s ability to straddle both past and future.
Redken Professionals’ innovative formulas allowed the Chavles and the Cutler Salon team to shape hair that ranged from disheveled and undone to sculpted and defined. Whether it was matte, textured finishes evoking a “just-off-the-field” authenticity or high-shine wet looks for a more futuristic edge, each style was tailored to enhance the collection’s overall feel.
Chavles’ ability to merge grunge influences with classic athletic styling created a runway moment that felt distinctly American yet globally relevant. The result was an effortlessly rebellious, uncontrived look that felt like a love letter to the past while confidently facing the future.
