Subtle touches took ponytails from youthful to sophisticated.
Spotted at: Issey Miyake, Badgley Mischka, Jil Sander, Louis Vuitton,
Marc by Marc Jacobs, Michael Kors, Versace.
To show off Issey Miyake’s
high necklines, Kazunori Miyasaka gathered stick-straight locks into
posh, center-parted ponytails. Teddy Charles complemented Badgley
Mischka’s uncharacteristically relaxed collection with a sleek,
side-parted ponytail and smoothed down flyaways using a toothbrush
misted with hairspray. To mirror the flapper-inspired fringe at Jil
Sander, Didier Malige crisscrossed the top layer of each model’s hair
over her ponytail, a look that elevated the simple style to new
standards of chic. Of the classic look, Malige wisely remarked, “When
you put a rubber band in your hair, you automatically
lift what you
don’t like about your face.”
