New York Fashion Week hair trends
As always, New York is an industry leader when it comes to the catwalk – but it’s not all about the fashion. Here are just some of our favourite hair trends that we've been inspired by during New York Fashion Week.
Flowers
Our first sighting of pretty floral hair accessories happened at the DVF show. The veteran designer opted for beautiful, slightly seventies waves that were adorned with the most delicate blooms. The trend was also spotted at boho designer Anna Sui’s show – again, the models wore waves, but they were much looser, and were straighter towards the bottom.
Washed Out
Another top trend was a kind of worn-in, washed-out style. Stylists at Milly and Diesel Black Gold played with waxes and wet look gels for styles that were at once dishevelled and fashion-forward.
All Gold
At the Rodarte show, stunning, intricate golden hair grips and barrettes held straight, but not poker straight, locks back from the models’ faces. At Alice + Olivia the gold theme continued, this time with decadent crowns sat atop messy braided ponytails.
Afros
Usually a rare sight on the catwalk, afros reigned supreme, particularly the TWA – AKA the Teeny Weeny Afro. Models in shows for the likes of Rag & Bone, Harbison and Creatures of the Wind, all sported ‘fros that were mostly shaped to flatter each individual models’ head, offering a fresh take on effortless catwalk hair.

Something Old - Something New
Does the bob ever go out of style? Short answer: No. The reason for the evergreen appeal of the bob is because, depending on the length, it’s a look that can suit any face shape or hair texture. Right now, it can be anything from a short and swingy French girl bob, a luxurious long bob, or a razor-cut curly bob. For Tori Kiff, it’s about keeping things fresh with the addition of a fringe.
“I love updating a classic curly bob with a fringe, especially as so many of my curly clients seem to think it’s a style they shouldn’t have. I’ve managed to show so many clients that it’s all down to fear and that actually, a curly bob is so flattering and easy to style; I advise them to use their fingers to curl their fringes or to use a brush when styling,” shares Tori.
Of course, the most modern way to wear a bob is the Bixie, a hybrid of the bob and pixie; think classic bob updated with a fringe or micro bangs, or you could play with the Butterfly Bob. RUSH Creative Director Andy Heasman’s a fan.
