JEAN PAUL GAULTIER
These crimped, voluminous centre part styles complimented an Oriental story by the sea. Eighties (hair) vibes strong.

BALMAIN
It was extra terrestrial excellence at Balmain. Models’ hair finger-swept back and blasted with white coloured spray (we assume). A seamless colour scheme from brow to hairline.

CHANEL
It was ‘the higher the hair the closer to God’ at Chanel. A futuristic spin on the beehive evident in a jagged edge.

ARMANI PRIVÉ
It was all about the flapper ‘cap’ at Armani Privé. From a distance it could be a wet-look, alas, hair takes a backseat. Inspirational all the same. `

VALENTINO
Closed by Naomi Campbell, the Valentino spring couture show was indeed theatrical with a weeping Celine Dion and feathers for (eye) lashes. Hair was slicked back and subdued. A notable beauty moment nonetheless.
