Would You Wear Your Hair Wild?

Back in February when I attended the Topshop Unique A/W show the bushy unkempt hairstyles left a lasting impression. I thought the wild styles looked wicked on the runway (especially with the badger hats and big eyebrows) but wasn't sure it was a look that would ever work off the catwalk. A bed head is one thing but a full on bush is going a little too far maybe.


While I still haven't seen anyone walking down the street sporting Topshop hair I have noticed Isabel Lucas has been working a slightly more groomed version of the style. Isabel was the girl to watch last summer and is still as on-trend as ever working her grown-out highlights. Back in February at the Calvin Klein A/W show Isabel sported a tousled version of the look and for the after party worked a crimped style.

... and then crimps it up for the after party.

Granted, the Calvin Klein collection showed before Topshop Unique, so Isabel was working this style before it hit London Fashion Week, but it's interesting to see how easy it is to make this look work for events. I think we'll be seeing a lot more backcombing and crimping on the red carpet this fall.

Are you a fan of the wild hairstyles? And which other celebrities would you like to see give the look a go?
