Two-Faced Fashion

The Bernhard Willhelm Autumn/Winter 2012 Collection Presents Wild Hairstyles

The Bernhard Willhelm Autumn/Winter 2012 Collection premiered during the 2012 Paris fashion week and took the runway with force. These models looked like something out of a circus with their faces half painted and their hair molded into strange angled shapes.

All of the models had their faces half painted, exuding a split-personality feel. One is even completely made up like a circus clown with a half-painted Bozo face and a big red nose; however, her clothing looks like a ragged jumpsuit of a striped prisoner that happened to walk through a car wash of color.

The Bernhard Willhelm Autumn/Winter 2012 Collection dares to be different and turns the runway into a wild circus ring.
