AW14 Hair Trends

I've been looking at some of the current trends of Autumn/Winter 2014 to see what is currently in trend and fashionable. I wanted to find styles that maybe suit the Elizabethan era in a more contempory way. I've always loved looking at Avant Guarde and fashion catwalk hair so this was an enjoyable task to search the internet!


On this blog:https://belfash.wordpress.com/ I found some really interesting styles that almost look very 90's style. The images are playful and girly with a high fashion edge. I love the way the designer has incourperated plats, buns, twists and accessories which remind me even more of the tudor fashion in hair. The way the models wear multi coloured clothing reminded me of Elizabeth as well as the high amount of gold they wear symbolising a royal colour. The images show symmetry; this was something the tudor women would almost always have whether it be a heart shaped style or not.

This image reminded me of a 'ruff' type effect on the neckline of the outfit, the model wears a crown like accessory teamed with very pale skin and a fringe braid. 

These earrings really reminded me of something Elizabeth would wear, they have heart shapes on them, they're gold and red and over the top, this was the style Elizabeth stuck to and this is why I feel this image is a great modern contemporary Elizabethan.

The hair in this shot reminded me of a heart shaped look in a modern way. The buns were popular around the 80's/90's but they still have that feel of a contemporary look to me. The model also wears a gold chain like detail on the dress which I found interesting too. 

Looking at fashion images like this really inspire me when it comes to looking at designs which will have an Elizabethan feel to them. I will continue my research to create a look which I feel is appropriate for a New Elizabethan shoot. 

Here are my examples to reflect on the blogs fashion show with these hair styles, I gave the styles a more simplistic outcome but I found it fun experimenting with these fun styles. 

I looked at this bun closely and decided it looked a little like a rose/flower bud shape, I've used the technique of pin curls to make something similar but in a different shape, this is a more modern take on a pin curl. In the centre I've used a plat to wrap around to get this look. I will experiment more to decide what will be suitable for my final idea.
