Retro Tennis Fashion at Wimbledon
As Wimbledon continues today, I have looked back at classic womens fashion on the court from the early 1960s. Whilst the colour palette has largely stayed the same, many players have had variants of shape, style and length to create a stylish on court ensemble. Click through to see some of the highlights.
Trend Alert: Big Hair
Playing with proportions is key in fashion this season. Not content with puff sleeves or ra ra skirts, designers have taken it to the max this autumn—just think of the Bernard Chandran dress Estelle wore at the MTV Europe Awards last week. If you want an inexpensive route to fashionista status volume is also all the rage as far as hair is concerned.
Will You Be Wearing Your Hair Slicked Back?
If the catwalks are anything to go by then the 20's slicked back hair style is the big beauty trend for next Spring. This classically masculine hair was seen at the Jean Paul Gaultier, Louis Vuitton and Karl Lagerfeld shows at Paris Fashion Week, teamed with bold makeup. Meanwhile at London Fashion Week hair had a deep side parting and looked almost greasy to the touch at Temperley.
Beauty Glossary: 20's Slicked-back Hair
While girls wore their hair in cute bobs or wavy flapper girl style, mens hair in the 1920's was super simple. Hair was slicked back with gel for a formal look that was thought to be both masculine and also elegant. Think of The Great Gatsby or the new Brideshead Revisited film and you get the picture.
Love It or Hate It? Kelly Brook's Retro Hair
British actress Kelly Brook is out and about in London today working an Old Hollywood glamour vibe. She's teamed a fitted cream suit and vertiginous heels with huge hair and polished makeup.
Kelly has gorgeously thick hair and she's working volume at the crown and a swept off the face look that has a definite late 60's feel.
Trend Alert: 90's Beauty is Back
While we're basking in the tongue-in-cheek quirkiness of the 80's revival, (think scrunchies and big hair) the 90's renaissance is creeping up on us slowly but surely. Take The Wackness for example, or the recent comeback of 90's supermodels Linda Evangelista (the new face of Prada) and Claudia Schiffer who is fronting the Chanel campaign this season.
The Soft Goth look, which is essentially an 80's style, was revived in the 90's with bands like the Nine Inch Nails.
Retro Olympic Fashion
Bring British means that I no longer need to concern myself with the winning aspect of the olympics. Instead I can take the Miu Miu luxe sportswear approach and focus on what the athletes are wearing! With a mere few hours to go until the opening ceremony here we take a look back at retro olympic fashions.
