Trend Alert: Grey day
From an early age girls seem to want to age themselves prematurely, constantly pushing the boundaries to look older than they really are. However is this new trend taking it a little too far?
Grey hair, yes grey hair ala grandma, is the latest big trend to hit the catwalks. It is all about the grey hair right now. Back at the spring/summer shows we began to see the tell tale signs of this growing trend. Rue du Mail, Giles, Jeremy Scott and Gareth Pugh all sent their models down the catwalk looking like they were on their way to the post office to collect their pensions. Grey streaks, chunks and highlights were rife at Fashion Week and this time around it is no different.
Chanel’s couture show earlier this week saw silver foxes trotting down the catwalk and fashion pack leader Kate Moss seems to have followed suit after recently turning up to an event at the Ritz with a freshly streaked grey hair do.
Fashion eccentric Daphne Guinness has long since coveted the look, having sported a white/grey streak in hair hair for years. Junior fashion blogging sensation Tavi also jumped on the band wagon, showing up to the Chanel show with a newly dyed grey barnet and further adding to the pensioner look with a pair of NHS style plastic framed glasses.
However, don’t go out and buy the grey dye straight away! How about testing the waters first with a bit of wash out hair mascara? Try Stargazer’s £3 silver version.
