The ELLE Taiwan Head Start Shoot Stars Bardot-Inspired Julia Hafstrom

The ELLE Taiwan Head Start editorial channels the iconic look of Brigitte Bardot. The voluminous hair and teased beehive has been given a subtle modern update that is perfect for both the day and night. Granted, the updo may be slightly too dramatic for some to wear during the day.

Shot by photographer David Slijper for the magazine’s January 2012 issue, the ELLE Taiwan Head Start editorial is simple and direct. Heavy cat-eye liner completes the looks as well as model Julia Hafstrom’s transformation into the 60s sex symbol. Instead of being overtly sensual, however, these hairstyles are elegant and refined with a contemporary edge. With hairstyle titles like ‘Rock Star,’ ‘Bang Up’ and ‘Wild Look,’ that edge is not to be taken lightly, that’s for sure.
