High Times in Milan

Pompadour. Mohawk. Bouffant. Call it what you will, volumized, sculptural updos kept popping up on the Milan runway, prompting us to wonder if there was some kind of meeting of the world’s most influential styling minds in which an all-hands-in pact to keep things big was made over a teasing comb. From the soft, wispy Elvis extremism at MaxMara to the greaser-turned-punk look at Moschino and the almost Warholian mess of serpentine strands at Fendi, plain old straight and smooth will apparently not fly for Spring. Consider yourself in the know.
