“It’s not perfect—like she tried to do it herself,” explained Paul Hanlon, loosely fingering an unkempt set of bangs at the Palais de Tokyo in Paris this afternoon. The backstage hairstylist was referring to the kinked, jagged, clip-in fringe he crafted at Rochas to evoke a ’40s rockabilly vibe—tonged the wrong way to get stray dents in the hair and left textured, to dreamy effect.
It follows a string of adorably messed-up bangs on the recent runways, many of which were freshly snipped for this season. There was Alexandra Elizabeth Ljadov, whose strands were beachily cut at Alexander Wang, and Grace Hartzel, who debuted an instantly iconic mullet with crooked fringe at Tom Ford. A not-quite-right bang feels effervescent and fun—no wonder it made a splash at Versace, where Kiki Willems’s vision-obscuring lengths nearly stole the show, and throughout Moschino’s lineup of choppy wigs, which amplified the collection’s baby-doll-like presence. “I like these almost childlike qualities to the hair,” Hanlon added. In other words: Perfectly imperfect.
