Twice a year, the fashion flock packs their bags and travels the globe to witness what the industry’s brightest minds have cooked up for the coming cold months. And while the clothes are the main event, there’s always another accessible element that can be borrowed: hair, makeup, and everything in between that regular folks can actually pull off without a stylist on speed dial.

From the Side

No one exactly knows when it happened or who even started it, yet Gen Z has widely declared that side parts are outdated without much room for argument. Apparently, parting your hair asymmetrically is a millennial trait. Be that as it may, the runways across the four fashion capitals are keen on bringing it back.
Free the Frizz

Those who enjoy a tight slick-back or a smooth blowout might hate this one. But yes, frizz and flyaways have been given the runway treatment recently. No hairbrushes needed; just hair with a mind of its own, taking up space exactly as it pleases.
At the Club

Smokey eyes with red lips are the beauty equivalent of a leather jacket and heels. When someone steps out in this combo, it’s usually the signal of a big night out. If the designers this month had their way, however, everyone would be wearing a look meant for after-parties even during the day. Not a bad offer, really.
All that Shimmers

Last but not least, there’s glitter. It’s understandable that when the word is mentioned, there’s a pause as many think of the tedious cleaning required after wearing minuscule sparkles. And yet, glitter is also joy. Plain and simple, whimsical joy that perhaps deserves to be smeared on the face every now and then.
