Nicholas James’ LFW hair trend report reveals classic styles with a modern edge for the upcoming season.
Renowned hairstylist Nicholas James‘ LFW predictions have identified the key hair trends from London Fashion Week. He notes a return to iconic looks with fresh interpretations, stating, “We saw a resurgence of classic styles, but with a fresh and contemporary twist.”
The Side Part Back With A Vengeance
Nicholas James’ LFW insights highlight a strong emphasis on classic styles with modern twists. Richard Quinn showcased extreme side partings, a look James calls “the side part back with a vengeance.” Models sported structured 40s-inspired pixie cuts with deep side partings, creating a striking contrast. James suggests using strong hold hairspray to mould the hair, placing the parting diagonally above an eyebrow.
Wet Look Hair
Di Pesta revived the wet hair look, harmonizing with their beachy collection. Models embodied sea goddesses, with hair visibly wet and dripping, evoking a cinematic ocean emergence. James recommends using plenty of hair gel on damp hair to achieve this sleek, sultry look.
Twisted Slick Backs
Harris Reed presented a twist on the slick back, adding volume to the crown. James notes that this look, while still sleek, offers a new dimension to a classic style. He suggests teasing a small section at the back of the crown to create a subtle bump. This look is polished and easy to style, offering endless possibilities for creative expression.
