Fall 2013 hair: the luxe factor.

You simply cannot reference the sirens of film noir without creating a hairstyle that comes to view as luxurious, yet effortless to a certain extent. We spotted the modern take on the classic styles on the Bottega Veneta, Dolce & Gabanna, Miu Miu and Valentino fall 2013 runways. There is where the cinematic sophistication managed to transcend the big screen, giving us a display of beautiful examples on how a distinctly luxurious point of view can be translated in full effect onto the city streets

A young Jodie Foster playing Iris in the 1976 film Taxi Driver, inspired Guido at Redken to create the soft curls at Bottega Veneta fall 2013. The classic beauty of German actresses Hedy Lamarr and Marlene Dietrich also had a fair share of influence over the resulting gentle hairstyles, accompanied by an equally effective make-up. More like a modern adaptation of the point where the 1940s and the 1970s interchange, the style at Bottega Veneta is all about va-va-volume.

Clear frames.

Because perspex and clear plastic has trended in everything from clutches to shoes to raincoats, you won’t be surprised to find that clear sunglasses have also made the cut. Just because the frame is transparent, don’t think you won’t be making a statement: go for strong shapes and thicker frames to really make this trend stand out.

Biker jackets for men: spring’s take on the wardrobe staple

A wardrobe without a cool leather biker jacket in it, to advocate for the rough aesthetic and inject your outfit with the right amount of edginess, would probably feel incomplete.

Matte framed sunglasses.

Whether or not to opt for reflective lenses is one thing, but the frames are another question entirely.
