Look of the Day: It’s Complicated
Wednesday, February 8th, 2012
Though I'm not usually a fan of hair that is "complicated", the over-the-top, "sci-fi" styles that played out during Copenhagen Fashion Week Fall 2012 were decidedly covetable. Faves in the mix were the mohawks-out-of-ponytails at Spon Diogo and the double-twists-plus-loopty-loops ...
