AW17 FASHION WEEK

Top 3 Trends from AW17 Fashion week
From the braided styles at Antonio Berardi to the super sleek hair at Erdem , this year ’ s Autumn Winter fashion shows gave us all the hair inspiration we need for the coming months .
1 ) You don ’ t always need a perfect finish
Many stylists made the shift towards a more unkempt finish and we saw a clear movement towards mussed up waves , twists and texture both in short and longer hairstyles .
Notable designers featuring this look included Preen at London Fashion Week , and Jenny Packham in New York . Both took the opportunity to dress hair in soft loose waves , twisting and pinning sections to give each look an ethereal finish . Braids are still on the radar and multiple braids were tangled , twisted and pinned to create showstopping hairstyles at the Antonio Berardi show , whilst Elle Saab , Valentino and Balmain also opted for braided styles .
2 ) Accessorise your look
Accessories played a large role in the Autumn Winter collections and a number of stylists used statement pieces to put the final touches to their looks . Whilst Temperley London , Tory Burch , Rochas and Emilia Wickstead chose glamorous ribbons , Toga adorned hair in vintage hair brooches , Altzurra sent models down the catwalk with embellished headbands and JW Anderson gave a nod to the 80s , adopting the flashy single statement earring .
3 ) Sleek is still chic
Texture may be on the rise , however , the sleek look was still in wide circulation . Carolina Herrera and JW Anderson stole the show when it came to sleek chic and both chose to dress hair in tight low ponytails with slick side partings . Each straightened hair through the length giving hair a smooth classic finish .
