Paris Haute Couture Hair Trends 2020
January 23, 2020
It’s that time again with the extra air of elegance and insouciance in Paris: it’s the City of Light’s time to shine as Haute Couture descends upon Paris in Fashion Week.
We have chosen our favorite hair looks from this year’s runway looks, and you will notice the ever-strong trend of healthy lustrous hair, showing feminine strength and good maintenance against the ever-changing fashions and styles.
We also see an interesting trend of emphasizing slicked-down, close-cropped hair to maintain a small understated head shape, to show contrast against overwhelming, voluminous couture.
Take a wander through our picks and pin your favorite looks!
GIVENCHY
We particularly loved Givenchy this season for its healthy clean hair. Even the sculpted styles with the light finishing serum effect were soft and movable and not the stiff and hard gel textures. Soft femininity is making a comeback – tell us what you think by commenting or tagging us on IG @ilesformula_hair.
GIAMBATTISTA VALLI
As any fashionista following Maestro Valli over the years will know of his many gorgeous couture pieces that were inspired by the natural beauty of birds, here he styled his models with smooth, slicked-down hair to resemble the small heads of birds in order to show off the beautiful, colorful couture as plumes. He even uses feathers in the models’ hair to emphasize the resemblance!
We think that the small head shape contrasted with the extra-large volume of couture is perfect in every way. Great inspiration for parties and so easy to achieve with the right hair products!
DIOR
Again, we see healthy lustrous textured hair like spun silk… at Maison Dior this time. To achieve this beautiful result, you can do no better than styling with our Iles Formula Finishing Serum. This is the go-to serum for professional backstage Fashion Week hairdressers, as it has the power to transform dry, damaged, and dull hair to sumptuous silk just by blow-drying it in the hair. Instant lustre achieved!
The braid is Dior’s tribute to HRH Princess Grace of Monaco. A nice feminine touch and a reference to timeless elegance. The key to keeping this style modern is to have the hair flowing free, soft, and natural, in contradiction to the perfectly clean braid.
CHANEL
We noticed that several of the shows tapped into this smooth clean style at the crown with a deep side part and free-flowing lustrous hair from mid-length onwards.
As ever, Chanel does it best. It signifies a strong, independent woman who is stylish and elegant but practical at heart too. A versatile style that we predict will be very popular in 2020.
MAISON MARGIELA
John Galliano never lets us down when it comes to avant-garde, and his work at Maison Margiela this season offers us futuristic, sculptural female forms reminiscent of Ancient Greek goddesses. Faces were covered with sheer colored mesh and hair was an artistic creation of paper, plumes, cloth, and netting. The whole look gives a pop-art air and a much-needed dose of color and fun to the runway and popular culture right now.
JEAN PAUL GAULTIER
Last but definitely not least, the haute couture finale of the beloved genius Maestro Jean Paul Gaultier. All things final are sad and his innovative, culture-defining couture will be greatly missed. This 2020 season was not only his last, but also offered eager fans memorable snippets from his entire illustrious career. Hair was adapted to the couture, each one offering an individual style and all very Gaultier, with braids, wigs, waves, bobs, and head wraps just to name the key few. It was… phenomenal. Merci, maestro.
Au revoir Mr. Gaultier you and your ever-inspiring haute couture will be missed.
We hope you enjoyed our selection. Most styles are very adaptable to everyday use, with or without the couture! Enjoy recreating them with Iles Formula, and tag us with your beautiful pictures @ilesformula_hair! We love to hear from you❤️!
