The 60s came back with a bang when the Gucci Fall 2014 runway collection showcased all its pretty, dewy faced models with the sixties-mod side swept hair style that was so popular then.
The throwback to the side swept hair style proved to be a hit; fashion blogs blew up about the look and want to follow suit, and girls the world over want to go through the pain of growing out their bangs to go for the low maintenance hair style.
With dramatic Marianne Faithfull lashes, deep side parts and perfectly winged eyes, the Gucci runway models looked stunning and natural -- the focus on the hair almost took the attention away from the clothes.
Richard Chai, Peter Som and Proenza Schouler also showcased the side swept hair style proving that the 60s are indeed back once again.
