Christopher Kane Gets Knotty For Tigi

Jaime Richards — Sat, 01 Sep 2012 09:30:00 BST

Designer Christopher Kane is known for incorporating a feminine yet edgy feel to his fashions. His Fall 2012 collection, for instance, featured leopard prints, boxy silhouettes, and grosgrain prints. Models were also adorned with leather at his latest runway show - an element Kane was inspired by when developing this knotted, leather-esque hairband for Catwalk by Tigi.

"I used accents of black leather in my A/W12 collection and so wanted to create a hairband for Tigi that had the same attitude," Kane explained. "A double strand in soft, mock leather adds toughness and strictness and keeps the hair controlled and modern." The limited-edition headband will be available with the purchase of two Catwalk by Tigi products at participating Tigi salons next month. Wear the sweet but sultry accessory with a tousled updo for cool-girl appeal, or with a ponytail for a crisp, sophisticated style.

The Mercedes Benz Fashion Festival Sydney came to a close this weekend, having brought a plethora of eye-catching hair accessories to the catwalk Down Under.

How to Make Your Own Vintage Brooch Headband

Jaime Richards — Wed, 21 Dec 2011 19:00:55 GMT

Here's a simple way to breathe new life into old jewelry. All you need is a fabric headband in the color of your choice and a vintage (or vintage-inspired) brooch. For this particular version, we pinned a retro-style brooch to a black satin wraparound headband. Aside from this being an easy way to dress up your look, the best part is that the style is not permanent: remove the brooch and affix it to a jacket, scarf, or anything else that needs a little lift. Then hit up the consignment store for its new replacement.

Trend Alert: Colorfully Streaked Coiffures

The feather hair accessory craze may be sweeping the nation, but the colorfully streaked hair trend is still making waves. During Fall 2011 Fashion Week in Milan, Fendi models walked the runway wearing voluminous chignons topped off with streaks of color in the back. And now we're seeing the look gaining in popularity once again on the red carpet.

Will You Sport a Turban This Summer?

Noria Morales — Tue, 07 Jun 2011 09:56:58 BST

The turban has been around a loooong time, had a resurgence in the late '60s and early '70s when Elizabeth Taylor and Marisa Berenson showed how cool they could be, and is once again making a comeback. SJP looked glam in SATC2, Moschino showed them on the runway, Arlenis Sosa sizzled in a swimsuit/turban combo, and we spotted this navy and brown spotted turban from Anthropologie ($178), with which we promptly fell in love. We think it would look ultra chic with a fitted sheath dress, black shades, and a red lip. What's your opinion?

Witness the History of the Scrunchie

Jaime Richards — Tue, 07 Jun 2011 09:30:00 BST

Not too long ago on The Late Show With David Letterman, guest Jennifer Garner revealed that she used to run a lucrative scrunchie business back in college. This got me thinking about these vintage (and oft-mocked) ponytail holders. Just exactly where did they come from, and who used to - or still does - wear them anyway? Find out this and more, when you read on.
