During all the Fashion Week shows, the clothes take centre stage, but it’s equally fun to study the hairstyles. What did you think of Marc Jacobs’ Pippi Longstocking pigtails, for example, or the severe looking combovers at Alexander Wang?
I enjoyed this contemplative piece about what a father learnt doing his daughter’s hair. Refinery29’s roundup of beauty blogs for natural-haired girls is also worth a look.
The Wall Street Journal recently published an article about elite stylists raising their prices to $1,000 and beyond. Here’s celebrity stylist Yves Durif’s response to people wondering if it’s actually worth it.
Some light-hearted entertainment: Illustrator Gary Card’s chart showing every hairstyle Prince has ever sported, and Refinery29’s Celebrity Hair Hall of Fame.

Angie is ploughing through the shows at all the fashion weeks over the next 5 weeks, and so far, as NYFW draws to a close, the following collections have been a favourite: Elie Tahari, Jason Wu, Christian Siriano, Tibi, Victoria Beckham, Thakoon, Tracy Reese, Theory, 3.1 Phillip Lim, Marc by Marc Jacobs, J.Crew and Narciso Rodriguez. Her favourite catwalk outfit so far is from 3.1 Phillip Lim. The lines of the pieces, the movement and fit of the garments are pure genius. And can we bless those perfect pant lengths, she adds.
