We’ve seen Dutch braids, neon wigs and retro quiffs, but there’s one trend currently taking the catwalk by storm – hair accessories. The best part? They’ve come a long way since the flimsy butterfly clips you used to wear in the nineties.

Here’s all the hair inspiration you need. 

ZADIG & VOLTAIRE A/W 18

And the award for most eye-catching hair accessories a/w 18 goes to Zadig & Voltaire. Crystal encrusted zig-zags, lightning bolts and stars were topped off with a trio of feathers, taking the ‘undone’ look to new heights. 

PRABAL GURUNG A/W 18

Only hairstylist Anthony Turner could make a simple plastic accessory look chic. At Prabal Gurung, hair was twisted into an effortless chignon – or ‘yoga bun’ as Anthony referred to it backstage – and was slicked back and set in place with the stretchy comb headband we all wore in the nineties. Oh, the nostalgia.  

CARMEN MARC VALVO A/W 18

In contrast to the neon hues and modern blunt cuts served up this week, hair at Marc Valvo took on a vintage feel. Ethereal twists and fringes were embedded with slides which were adorned with crystal dragonflies and beetles.

PHILIPP PLEIN A/W 18

Bows, turbans, visors… all hair accessories at Philipp Plein were bespangled with gems. If anything is going to inspire you to pick up a glue gun and get creative, it’s most probably this.  

TOM FORD A/W 18

80s vibes radiated from the catwalk at Tom Ford, as models like Kaia Gerber and Joan Smalls wore large leather headbands over their messy up-dos and mullets. Yes, you read that correctly – the mullet is back with a bang. 

CHOCHENG A/W 18

Hair at Chocheng took inspiration from the fifties. Gravity-defying pin curls towered on top of models’ heads and were decorated with concertina-style pom-pom poms to match their earrings.
