Curl Power! Why Ringlets Are Ruling the Streets of New York Fashion Week

Photographed by Phil Oh

An undeniable sense of curl power is sweeping New York Fashion Week, visible in the textured mops of Tom Ford’s rocker-maned male models and Phil Oh’s latest street style snaps, in which It girls and front row regulars proudly sport Biba-esque corkscrew ringlets and fuzzy, slept-in spirals. Boldface names in fashion have steadily embraced the trend, with Karl Lagerfeld making the case for fairy-tale coils at Fendi’s latest couture show and Alessandro Michele tapping Petra Collins’s artistic corkscrews for Gucci’s Fall runway.

Off the catwalk, Collins embodies the lighthearted this-is-me attitude of the moment, pairing her shoulder-length crop of frothy ringlets with a knotted tee and relaxed denim (revealing an adorable peek at her super-femme floral undies), while Solange’s brushed-out curls, violet-painted lids, and sheer trench give off an equally charming ’70s disco vibe.

Those who aren’t blessed with natural ringlets, meanwhile, are playing up long lengths of air-dried waves, similarly embracing what they were born with—a theme we’re sure to see more of as the season unfolds.
