“It’s kind of futuristic in a way, this very simple, exposed head,” said Guido Palau, surveying the slicked-back waves on a model before sunrise. The directional hairstylist was backstage at Paris’s UNESCO headquarters, speaking of the elevated swimming-pool manes he had crafted for Loewe’s Spring 2017 show. Wetted with Redken’s Guts 10 foam and stuck to the scalp with heavy comb work, the style interplayed beautifully with the sculptural gold earrings in the collection, and was noted for its stance on the season’s ongoing center-versus-side-part debate—coming down hard in favor of no part at all.
It’s a growing contingent. In London, Tina Outen took globs of oil gel to pull strands straight back in rock ’n’ roll fashion at Markus Lupfer, followed by Paul Hanlon in Milan to generate what he called “strong, graphic, almost Chelsea girl hair” at Missoni. Hanlon took that tack again in Paris at Paco Rabanne yesterday, adding vivid red and navy color spray at the top to suit the collection’s interstellar vibe. “It feels very dramatic, it feels forceful, kind of direct, and strong,” Palau explained of the intrinsic appeal of going partless—all reasons why it’s bound to turn up again before Paris Fashion Week draws to a close.
