Some folks believe that hair is the most important part of any outfit. It would appear, however that Pen Magazine would disagree. To preview Japanese label [Comme Des Gar](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/comme-des-garons-3)çons' more formal tailored line, [HOMME DEUX](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cioccolato) for Fall/Winter 2009, they've orchestrated a photo shoot that features a model with wild, rats' nest hair.

While the clothing certainly shines in the Comme des Garçons Pen Magazine editorial, the model's styling is a bit odd. Check out the shoot in the October issue.
