When it comes to runway hair, you don’t need to reinvent the bedhead, so to speak. For Spring 2016, designers from Raf Simons to Hedi Slimane are finding that a well-placed ribbon or glittering tiara is all that’s needed to give an unexpected modern upgrade to second-day texture, low ponytail, or classic French twist.
In New York, London, Milan, and Paris, bows have been tied in a variety of ladylike knots, with fabric strips softening the otherwise kicky updos at Adam Selman, and loosely bound satin ribbon giving the humble ponytail a black-tie boost for Oscar de la Renta. Mary Katrantzou embraced the opulent effect of the choker, as did Dior, where a conceptual, must-copy version was created when jewels were layered over pastel pieces of fabric, twisted around both the throat and hair. Crowns have been hinted at with Dolce & Gabbana’s lush garlands and Rodarte’s Grecian-esque golden barrettes, but today Saint Laurent fashioned its cast of rock ’n’ roll misfits with fully fledged tiaras—proof that, with the right hair accessory, you too can be queen for a day.
