R+ Co for Matteau, Edition 2- 2022
This collection was inspired by the notion of escape. An escape from reality and to brighter days. To warm places away from the ordinary. Our roots are heavily grounded in Australia with the landscape and natural world an important and inescapable element of our design. As we dive into the next phase of Matteau we look forward with optimism, and to the past for character. We are in the here and now for simple pleasures and embrace our future nostalgia.
Hair Director Paloma Rose Garcia of Paloma Salon, NSW
“Working with the quintessential Matteau woman, who is eternally effortless, we worked to enhance each model’s natural hair texture rather than alter or change it. We created soft natural bends through their hair, with parts that are centred and strong. Hair is gentle tucked behind the ears, sitting behind the shoulders to ensure the finished look is a fresh and achievable daytime aesthetic.”
How to achieve runway ready hair: Relaxed and refined
- Working with damp hair, apply a 10 cent piece of R+ Co Waterfall Moisture + Shine Lotion, a super hydrating balm, through mid-length and ends only.
- Next, apply 1 pump of R+Co Two Way Mirror Smoothing Oil through the ends only to add extra shine.
- Using a comb add in a clean, central part, then comb through all hair with a wide tooth comb and let hair completely air dry.
- With a medium hair tong, create bends starting at the midpoint of hair, down to ends.
- To finish the look use R+Co Outer Space Flexible Hair Spray so there are no fly aways.

SHOW 2
R+Co BLEU for St Agni, Resort 2023
Subtle contrasts define the Resort 2023 collection, rooted in the agenda-setting minimalism of the ’90s. St. Agni’s familiar clean lines take on a new, freeing sensuality: Fabrics are at once sumptuous and gentle on the planet: responsibly sourced wool, forest-friendly viscose, GOTS-certified linen,
vegetable-dyed leather, and crisp BCI-certified cotton. Simplicity reveals the integrity of both design and materials — the most timeless and luxurious legacy of the ’90s.
Hair Director Brad Rixon of Rixon Hair, QLD
“The key looks we are seeing on the runway and especially for the St Agni show is all about
healthy, luxe, and polished natural hair. What I have been seeing is the consumers desire to
spend less time on their hair yet still achieve a salon quality result at home. Enhancing
natural texture is all about a great haircut and great home haircare.
One of my favourite looks from the show is a raked back wet look. This is a great style to do
yourself at home to accentuate your individual face shape and give your style a little more
edge.”
How to achieve runway ready hair: Raked Back
1. Start with freshly shampooed hair- we used R+Co BLEU Primary Colour Shampoo and R+Co Primary Colour Conditioner for lustrous and hydrated hair.
2. Work a 20-cent piece of R+Co BLEU Super Style Creme into towel dried. Then allow hair to air dry.
3. Once hair is completely dried, rake through a 20-cent piece of R+Co BLEU Highest Volumizing Mousse into the roots of your hair.
4. Using a wide tooth comb, add in a deep side part and comb hair into desired shape
while keeping the hair on the sides as close to the scalp as possible. This outline pairs
really well with either a relaxed or night-time look.
