Fashion week always serves as an incubator of trends, but it also often cycles those from seasons’ past. Such was the case at Fendi, where creative lead Guido Palau put forward a piece-y, sweeping side fringe.

The collection itself was inspired by Delfina Delettrez Fendi, a fine jeweller and now family Fendi muse. Tailored, utilitarian and beautifully refined, it begged for a hairstyle with the same message; one that Palau served up perfectly.

Unlike the early ‘aughts, this look was light, clean and sophisticated. If you don’t have layers or bangs of your own, no need to worry; you can simply take a small piece of length and bring it across the forehead, fastening behind the ear and then into a low ponytail. Finished with a generous serving of shine spray, it was easy, elevated, and a little bit ’90s.

Peter Philips led the makeup; clean skin, a nourished lip, minimal cheek colour and winged liner. But there were no sharp edges, instead the liner was soft and diffused – a powdery finish with no discernible start and end point. While visually simple its a great show of Philips’ artistry – makeup details that look like a natural extension of a person’s features, or just a natural shadow.
