Take a bow: hair accessories are back for AW21 (and they’re bigger than ever)

In an unexpected twist, this hair accessory has been resurrected from the late noughties and sent down the AW21 catwalks.

Hair accessories are set to be bigger than ever this season after major design houses decorated their AW21 couture shows with girly ribbons and bows. Dramatic supersized bows were skilfully fashioned from the hair itself for the Giambattista Valli Couture presentation, with hairstylist Odile Gilbert pairing old school Lady Gaga-esque versions with blunt cheekbone length bobs. Resurrect the iconic circa-2010 look yourself by twisting and securing your ponytail into two distinctive loops. Alternatively, finish off a punky French braid with an oversized black velvet bow like the models on Chanel’s Haute Couture runway for instant autumn cool. Wallflowers need not apply.
