This season saw the traditional up-do take on an elaborate twist, with detailing and precision as key. Session Stylist Malcolm Edwards fused Parisian chic with hip-hop and cornrows at Christian Lacroix, whilst meticulously braided buns were BIG news at Giorgio Armani, Issa and Rodarte. The only way is up this autumn/winter, and the only ‘up’ to wear is fanciful.

Be it the ‘Scarlett Pimpernel’ style matte finish of Basso & Brooke, the dual texture of Givenchy or the ‘80s-tastic thrill of Karl Lagerfeld, crimping and body was back in a BIG way this season.

Rock with a decidedly British edge was key on this season’s edgiest catwalks – be it strong centre partings, grungy dishevelled lengths or rockabilly quiffs. Rock muses made a welcome comeback with ‘morning after’ sexy tresses á la DSquared², whilst it was more rock chic than rock chick on the catwalk likes of Chanel and Balmain.

Venture back to the golden era this season as catwalks adopt lengths straight off of a silver screen siren. Veronica Lake-esque shimmering waves were seen at Chloe and Allesandro Dell’Acqua, whilst Mochino Cheap & Chic were more chic than cheap with exuberant body and sweeping partings.
