"Our partnership with Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week continues to evolve as we find new ways to engage with women – both on and off-site," says David Rubin, Brand Building Director, US Hair, Unilever.  "With our new mobile site, we're making it easy for women to access the latest trends and how-to's from the runway wherever they are, inspiring them to create chair-worthy hair all year long."

TRESemme Celebrity Stylist Jeanie Syfu is once again returning to lead the TRESemme Stylist Team backstage in creating show-stopping looks at the Tracy Reese, Charlotte Ronson and Rebecca Minkoff shows.  Additionally, women worldwide will get to see the goings on at fashion's biggest event through the eyes of Syfu via her online hair diary, which will live on the TRESemme Facebook page and be continuously updated throughout the week.  She will share images from hair tests with designers, upcoming hair trends for spring and tips on how to achieve the styles from all three shows.

For those trendsetters at Lincoln Center, TRESemme will be offering plenty of excitement on and off the catwalk.  Guests can visit the TRESemme Salon to receive complimentary touch-ups and experience first-hand the updated Fresh Start collection, as well as receive samples of it, which will be distributed throughout the week.  The Fresh Start collection is a full line of dry shampoos for any hair type that removes oil, dirt and odor, leaving hair feeling clean and rejuvenated.  Formulated with citrus extracts, Fresh Start is a whenever-you-need-it-refresher for salon-gorgeous style.

Downstairs in the TRESemme Lounge, a photographer will be on-hand to capture fans as they strike a pose.  Photos will be uploaded to the TRESemme Facebook page, allowing fans to tag themselves and further interact with the brand.  For those that are camera-shy, the Lounge is an ideal place to kick back and relax, charge laptops and check out live streaming feed of fashion shows.

TRESemme will continue to provide fans instant access to all the exciting behind-the-scenes action at Lincoln Center, featuring exclusive Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week content including hair how-to's direct from backstage, designer and stylist video interviews and runway snapshots from the season's hottest shows.  This and more will all be available on TRESemme.com and the TRESemme Facebook, YouTube and Twitter pages.

The Spring 2012 season of Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week takes place from September 8th to 15th at Lincoln Center in New York City
