Backstage at London Fashion Week, it’s the talented hair and makeup artists who dictate the upcoming beauty trends, but street style’s influence certainly doesn’t go unnoticed.
Each year, London’s most fashion-forward descend on the city’s thoroughfares. When you’re done taking in their incredible handbags, knee-high boots, and co-ords (short for coordinate, a British term for matching sets), don’t forget to take a second look at their haircuts.

But London Fashion Week SS24’s cuts are outshining them all.

Try a more piecey version, as seen on this model, for added movement and texture. Photographed by Mariana dos Santos PiresThe bob is taking center stage this London Fashion Week. Tousled waves and a shaggy fringe give the typically polished cut a more modern, effortless vibe.
