BEST AND WORST IN HAIR

In 2007, singers Nelly Furtado and Rihanna have the most visible hair style changes.

Worst Hair Change: Nelly Furtado

When Nelly Furtado stepped out flaunting her platinum blonde tresses at a pre-VMAs Award show, reactions heard across blogs and fan sites was YIKES! Then again, her new hair color suits the pop sound she created on her Grammy-nominated record, "Loose". I'm just glad Nelly soften the blonde dye as you can see in the photos above. Platinum blonde doesn't enchance her complexion but the honey blonde dye does.


Best Hair Change: Rihanna

To complete this short list, we have Rihanna who step away from the long weave style she adopted for her debut and sophomore records to the most-copied asymmetrical hairstyle in 2007.

Rihanna on her short 'do: "It's very edgy. It's a lot different from how you've seen me before. The short hair, the attitude is very B-girlish. I have a lot of attitude now and I'm not afraid to let it out anymore." [contactmusic.com]

As you can see, MENDONÇA caters to the sophisticated lady and her fashion forward needs. I enjoy his eye for streamlined yet bold designs that brings out the best feminine assets.

Personally, I love the last arrow of MENDONÇA's blue dresses and that belted yellow tulle-like frock. I love the hemline and the details on that one black sleeveless dress. MENDONÇA is one fashion designer to watch in the coming years.

If you're drawn to his work, you're in luck. He's currently on Project Canada. Click here for additional information on his "Project Canada" gig.

Big thanks to J.L!
