Runway A/W19

TRENDS
ALL INCLUSIVE
Humanity and all its glorious incarnations was splashed across
the catwalks like a raucous rainbow. Characterising every shape,
colour, gender and age bracket, the myriad models that were spied
everywhere from Vivienne Westwood to IA London kept the
backstage stylists busy. Of course, diversity has been a valuable
message both on and off the runways for a few seasons now, but
this ‘anything goes’ attitude seems to have ramped up a notch for
A/W19 thanks to designers such as IA London helping to push
the boundaries. As well as proving that even octogenarians can
rock a Tim Burton-esque beehive, this trend also ensures that
every conceivable hair type is represented so the stylists need to be
fully versed in the idiosyncrasies of kinky, coily and curly hair.
“We’re treating models like clients and accentuating what they
love most about their hair. We want them to own it,” said Tina
Outen for L’Oréal Professionnel at Natasha Zinko, a sentiment
shared by Yesmin O’Brien for L’Oréal Professionnel at the
London College of Fashion MA show and Adam Reed for L’Oréal
Professionnel at the Central Saint Martins MA show. “It’s a
modern, effortless, undone look styled individually for each
model,” he explained backstage of his “curls in a hurry” hairdo,
which enjoyed an African/Latin American vibe to it.
