Here at beautylab, we believe a true trend is one that’s here today and gone tomorrow: slap bracelets, manties, boot cut jeans, Timberlands, square-toed shoes. A trend that appears year after year is no longer a trend, but a staple of our style lexicon: Chuck Taylors, the leather bomber jacket, Ray Bans.
When it comes to trends in hair it seems that season after season we’re offered the same old, same old – beach waves, pixie cuts, a fancy ponytail. But these styles, trends circa 2001, are now year-round, ho-hum staples for all of Hollywood and most preteens. A true hair trend is brand new. It requires one to develop complicated skills, purchase strange products and push the limits (of gravity, dignity, imagination) – but only for a season.
Taking those factors into account, for Fall ’09 we ephemerally present:
-
1. The Lion ‘Fro
Kate Moss, W Magazine, Sept 09; Abby Lee, Bazaar Aus, Sept 09
Pair this with: Retro 40′s looks, for an interesting decade melange.
-
2. The Hot Mess Bouffant
Toccara Jones, Italian Vogue; Natasha Poly, Zac Posen, Fall 09
Rock this disheveled up-do with flawless skin and a dramatic eye when you need to appear much more mysterious.
-
3. Rocker Fringe
- Kate Moss, Claudia Schiffer, Vogue Korea, August 09
This style is for: Everyone on the Lower East Side and anyone who wears Balmain.
-
4. The Aretha Franklin
Louis Vuitton and Diane Von Furstenberg Fall 09
If you try for Trends 1-3 and fail miserably, throw on one of these statement hats and you’re good to go for at least two days.
