YSL (and the A-list) prove the crop is here to stay...
Short, cropped hair is here to stay. But instead of the asymmetric (typically 60s) ‘pob’ made famous by Posh last year, the new bob hair style is more fashion forward thanks to YSL who has made the glossy, pudding bowl cut the look of next season.
The celebs have certainly taken notice - Reese Witherspoon flaunted a newly bobbed hair style last month, Eva Longoria stepped out with her locks cropped last week and now Hayden Pannetiere has followed suit with a neat blonde crop. They all know the bob is the perfect, now style to add a chic and modern edge to floral prints and summer dresses. For autumn lets hope they ramp it up and make a bolder statement YSL style - to turn heads this season, the perfect collar length, pudding bowl crop is essential.

Stylist, perfumier, designer and art-director Serge Lutens is set to launch his first eponymous cosmetics line at Harvey Nichols, London tomorrow.
Serge Luten’s may not be a name you instantly recognise but you have probably seen his work – or smelt it. He started his career as a photographer for top fashion magazines in Paris, but turned his hand to make-up in the sixties, producing a make-up line for Christian Dior in 1967.
In 1980 he was appointed Creative and Art Director of Shisedo and started to create his world famous fragrances. He masterminded some of Shisedo’s most iconic scents including the ‘Nombre Noir’ in 1982, before opening his own perfumery ‘Les Salons du Palais Royal’. It’s no surprise then that his latest foray in to beauty, his new collection to the UK, Serge Luten ‘Neccessaire de Beaute’, has been created with Shiseido.
And the products match Luten’s beauty credentials. Reassuringly expensive, in chic black lacquered packaging, all the products bare the hall mark of great design and a make – up professional’s expertise.
The Kohl liner, £38, is a particular favourite of ours. No pencil for Serge. His kohl eye liner is a luxuriously rich pot of inky black liner that comes with a double ended tool to apply – one end for fine lines, one for sexy smudging. We also love the new lipsticks, £49, not only for the so now berry shades, but also, they are cleverly smaller than your average lipstick, which means they will fit perfectly in to clutch bags come the party season.
We predict this will become the go-to brand for the ultimate in glamorous make-up.
Available at Harvey Nichols, London from 22nd August.
