This season, hairstyles will incorporate a variety of textures, from curly to crimped. It's all about blending evening elegance with a casual sensibility, Cutler says, and it should look like a woman could create it herself, at home.

"The beauty of fashion these days is that it really is attainable," he says. "It is quite manageable at home, with simple styling techniques and the right products."

Come fall, Cutler says, think "deconstructed glam" - brushed out, disheveled waves and curls, high ponytails, messy buns, all with a 1970s airy, matte texture.

The hairstyling world is undergoing a significant change, says the New York-based stylist.

Hairstyle used to be about what was fashionable at the moment, he says. Now it's about what is fashionable for that evening.

"The hair works around the outfit," he says.

In addition to working with fashion models, Cutler, 41, styles hair for editorial photo shoots for magazines. And he's noticed a change in fashion publications as well.
