Day three of New York Fashion Week brought its first major surprise, when model and new mother Ashleigh Good was spotted making her runway return at Alexander Wang. No stranger to a sensational appearance—her turn as an ethereal (and very pregnant) mother-to-be on Karl Lagerfeld’s arm at Chanel’s Haute Couture show last summer was a highlight of the season—Good decided to celebrate her comeback with a new hair color in an inky goth shade of black. “Guido [Palau] suggested I do it,” she said, referencing Wang’s longtime backstage hairstylist and collaborator, “and he always has the best ideas for my hair.”
So, early this morning, Good paid a visit to Victoria Hunter at Whittemore House in the West Village to transform her golden brown hair into a deep charcoal. “I took her platinum last year,” said Hunter, referencing the icy blonde shade that first kicked the model’s career into high gear last spring. “But now her eyes look so blue!” Her hair was then trimmed into graphic layers with long bangs that Palau finger-combed against her head, pulling out pieces to fall in front of her face. “She wanted people to see her in a new way,” said Palau.
“I’m like a goth mom,” laughed the model, who was holding her four-month-old daughter, Emily, backstage. She’d been preparing for her runway comeback with a balanced approach by first focusing on her diet to ensure she was getting enough clean protein and healthy fats for breast feeding—“I always have eggs and spinach for breakfast”—then slowly building up her fitness routine with cardio and strength training. Walking at a steady pace on an incline provided plenty in the way of raising her heart rate and breaking a sweat, while regular sessions with a trainer sculpted her legs, butt, and abs. “When I’m in New York, I do SLT classes,” says the New Zealander. “It’s killer but it works.”
