When Peter Philips on make-up and Sam McKnight on hair join forces to create the beauty looks for the Fendi show each season, we always can count on them to create magic, and for Spring/Summer 2017 they didn’t let us down. While Philips’ deconstructed cat eye and glitter lip combination channelled Karl Lagerfeld’s collection perfectly, it was McKnight’s candy-princess hair looks that we really want to covet off the catwalk asap.

You’ll recognise the hair studs from the runway, where they feature as the hardware in Fendi’s new bags and accessories. McKnight and his team stayed up the night before hand-wiring each piece to fringe pins, before tucking them into model’s pigtails at random on the day. What gave the classic kid look a grown-up edge was the sleek, shiny base, which McKnight created using Moroccanoil Treatment, telling Allure; “We’re just coating it through the hair to make it heavy, not fluffy, which makes these styles tough and not so cute.”

With a variety of hairstyles at play on the day, the Manga-meets-cartoon princess hair was inspired by Lagerfeld’s youthful collection (and apparently the spunky Vanellope von Schweet from Wreck-It Ralph) but TBH the accessorised, piecey pigtails also gave us a hint of Lizzie McGuire déjà vu. Anyone else? Whether you wear them as they are or punctured with hair pins, pigtails are in people and we can’t think of a prettier way to say hello to Spring.

Vanellope Von Schweetz from Wreck-It Ralph served as the official inspiration the Fendi SS17 accessorised hair look; while Hilary Duff as Lizzie McGuire also had a penchant for pigtails and hair pins
