# Giant Bow-Shaped Updos Kate Frankfurt Puts an Elegant Twist on an Avant-Garde Updo By Marissa Brassfield | Published 2009-07-10 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kate-frankfurt-gentle-dolls References: [behance.net](http://www.behance.net/Gallery/GentleDolls_07/261931) & [behance.net](http://www.behance.net/katefrankfurt) The images above are from Kate Frankfurt’s ‘Gentle Dolls’ shoot, and what I love most about them are the [gorgeous updos](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/airstyle-pro) each model has to accent the clothing. We’ve featured a number of [avant-garde hairstyles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/highdive) at TrendHunter.com before; these [bow-shaped updos](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/holiday-bow-bar), however, adapt an outrageous hairstyle (one that we’ve seen on the likes of Lady GaGa) to traditional tastes. Rather than looking unusual and edgy, the hairstyles on Kate Frankfurt’s models give them an elegant air. Gorgeous. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.3/10 - Popularity: 86% | Activity: 64% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Hair](https://www.trendhunter.com/hair) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Avant-garde Updos:** Exploring the adaptation of outrageous hairstyles to traditional tastes, offering innovative and elegant options for hair styling. - **Gorgeous Accent Updos:** Creating elaborate updos that beautifully accentuate fashion looks, providing a stunning and eye-catching visual. - **Hairstyle Elegance:** Transforming unconventional and edgy hairstyles into elegant and sophisticated options, catering to a wider range of preferences. ### Who This Affects Most - **Fashion:** Offering new possibilities for integrating hairstyles with fashion, creating a seamless and impactful visual. - **Beauty:** Providing innovative and elegant hair styling ideas, giving professionals new ways to enhance their clients' beauty. - **Entertainment:** Exploring unique and eye-catching hairstyles that can be used for performances or bold fashion statements, offering a disruptive element in entertainment. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Multi-Wear Hair Accessories](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/truss-series-shippou.md) - [Avant-Garde Radish Accessories](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/radish-hat.md) - [Couture Ketchup Dresses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/la-robe-ketchup.md) - [Powerful Modern Bridal Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/houghton-x-albright.md) - [Wild Animal-Decorated Gowns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/schiaparelli-lion-head.md) - [Artistic African Culture Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/patewo-chair.md) - [Human Hair-Made Pots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/range-of-pots.md) - [Bread-Themed Fascinators](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bread-hat.md) - [Intricate Bridal Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/heli-kalkstein.md)
