NEW YORK, February 7, 2008 - "It's Minnie Mouse and Helmut Newton. A little sexy, a little sweet," said hairstylist Odile Gilbert backstage at Zac Posen, giving Posen's mom, Susan, the model treatment by pulling her hair into a high, sleek twist like the ones models Karen Elson and Irina Lazareanu wore.

The finished look on the runway was complete with two black cashmere pom-pons (left) pinned like ears on either side of the otherwise minimalist bun - the Minnie part - and a strong, blood-red lip/sophisticated smoky eye combination - the Helmut part. "The girls look 'insouciant'," said Susan Posen. "They're a bit sassy."
