"Signature Hair: Orlando Pita\\nWhether it&amp;#39;s a messy bouffant or an undone bun, Pita loves to mess with perfection.\\n\\\"This is one of my favorite *Allure* shoots. We did '50s, '60s, and '70s. It's inspired by Richard Avedon photographs. For the '70s, I was inspired by Bianca Jagger and the Studio 54 days. It's a little more glammed up. I put a lot of extensions in and gave her that '70s set hair.\\\"\\n\\\"She had very strong bangs, but the photographer didn't want them. He wanted her to look a little more glamorous and high fashion\u2014not so much the sweet woman that she is. Usually celebrities don't like you to use glue, but before you knew it, I had glue in her hair and stuck [extensions] in the front around her face. It was kind of a modern interpretation of Lauren Bacall.\\\"\\n\\\"The hair is teased, and it goes back into a French twist. I took out some of the pieces in the front and made it a little undone, because she's supposed to be at the beach.\\\"\\n\\\"When Madonna walked in, she said, 'Orlando, I don't want to sit in your chair for more than 15 minutes.' So I said, 'We haven't seen your natural wavy hair in a long time, so let's go with that.' I just took a curling iron and went over a few bits. It wasn't so done up, and you don't see Madonna like that very often. You always saw her really worked on\u2014the makeup, the hair, the outfit, and everything.\\\"\\n\\\"The show was inspired by flowers, and the hair was inspired by flower buds. We wrapped mesh forms around Styrofoam balls. Each one took at least an hour to create\u2014and that was for the people who knew how to do it.\\\"\\n\\\"The idea was eighteenth-century, Marie Antoinette hair. I love that it looks very contemporary, yet there's also something '60s about it; it looks like the beehive could have come from this.\\\"\\n\\\"John [Galliano] asked for a square hairdo\u2014and then the horror and panic seeped in. It was a lot of hot glue, hair extensions, and burning of the fingertips.\\\""^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
