Do you remember your hair at the end of finals week in high school? Or the hair your loved one from the liquor store sees on a weekly basis? Or perhaps it was last week when you ventured outside to grab a bagel during a hurricane in New York City?
Somehow Miu Miu saw your hair, put it on their inspiration board, and added it to the runway of their spring/summer 2024 show.
After a full fashion month of seriously glamorous hair, including big bouffants from Schiaparelli, sleek French twists from Dior, and beautiful beachy waves from Chanel, Miu Miu gave us greasy, oily, hangover hair, and it honestly felt good to feel seen. . “It was greasy, coarse hair, I loved it,” a friend texted me after the show. In the runway photos, the hair looked greasy (not shiny), tangled (not artfully tousled), lumpy (not as cute as Taylor Swift’s wet hair on the Eras tour), as if the hairdressers were playing a game of hide the dry shampoo backstage. .
More from ELLE
The degree of dishevelment varied. From neck to neck, Gigi Hadid looked like she was heading home after a night of cramming at the library, paired with sequined shorts and thick glasses. Model Rihanna Van Rompaey’s hair was so straight and curly, pulled back into a low updo, that it reminded me of my hair at the end of every hike I’ve ever gotten lost on. It’s a slight departure from last season’s static cloud hairstyles, which made models look like they had gel balloons rubbed over their heads (which, it turns out, they did to achieve the effect). I probably don’t need to know how to do this. I’ll come up with a hairstyle in Miu Miu style, but I’d like to know about the source of inspiration.
