Multi-Parted Hairstyles

The David Koma Spring 2012 Runway Show is Tribal-Futuristic

— October 10, 2011 — Fashion
Makeup and hairstyles seen on the catwalk dictate upcoming beauty trends just as much as the designs do for fashion; the David Koma Spring 2012 runway show may just herald a subtly strange hairstyle for this upcoming new year. With a futuristic, tribal influence as seen in the fashion designs itself, the hairstyle worn by the models is slick and sleek, with the oddity of multiple parts thrown into the mix.

The look seen in the David Koma Spring 2012 runway show was created by GHD Creative Director Kenna. Interestingly enough, the back portion of this style makes the front look quite basic. As a new spin on the classic ponytail, eight diamond sections are linked together in a geometric pattern with unassuming elastic bands, allowing the pattern of this intriguing style stand out all the more.
