Sweet Pleats

Rochas, spring/summer 2012

Spring’s love affair with frothy, feminine fashion has naturally trickled its way on to the beauty scene where ultra girly, wispy pleats (chignons) prevailed as one of the dominant and most beautiful, trends of the season. The ultimate poster girl for the look was undoubtedly Louis Vuitton’s ingénue with her girly updo accessorised with the sweetest of diamante headbands. Hot on her fashionable heels were the offerings from Rochas and Roberto Cavalli, where twists had a soft, homemade feel about them, complete with flyaway strands lapping at faces. In other incarnations hair was rolled into looser, lower pleats that hugged the napes of necks (Christian Dior and Missoni we’re talking about you) or infused with a starchy finish for an altogether bolder, more graphic edge – see Jil Sander for reference.
