Costume National’s menswear Spring 2010 line is very well done with many interesting wearable pieces. The big styling ‘risk’ in this collection is the 90s grunge-style shapeless hair on many of the models. It is as if they dropped by Supercuts on the way to the show and then styled it themselves.
But stranger things have definitely happened in fashion. Gaultier did bring back the mullet a few seasons ago. Plus, we all know that Costume National’s menswear Spring 2010 hair choice has more to do with making a 90s reference than actually having the style be worn on the street.
It’s always interesting to see how the runway translates trends.
