So the juries out for spring and it seems Candy Colored Hair is-- unfortunately here to stay. Think of pastels in shades of blue and pink as well as candy colored aqua. Usually to me, pink hair screams out Katy Perry, Lady Gaga, and Rihanna to me. Trend setters, most definitely, but my problem is will the majority of the public be able to pull this off? Or will they look like their playing dress up for Halloween?!? When I see an entirely blue head is, my first thought is you've got to be kidding me. Please dye it back. Call me boring but this trend seems a bit juvenile to me.
However, Oscar De la Renta features this trend in a more flattering way. Think Holly Golightly in
Breakfast at Tiffany's with a bit of edge. This look is elegant. She looks modern and quirky with pink highlights in a chic updo. The key for me is embracing the trend subtly with highlights, not blue hair all over! Just saying... Unless your a ROCKSTAR or a MODEL, you look silly.
Anna Sui in her spring 2013 collection also embraced candy colors-- this time in the form of short wigs. The short hair, even though it's a wig, seems more put together and more fashion forward. I like some of these looks, albeit begrudgingly. They are interesting and have a point of view. Anna Sui mixes punk masterfully with just the right amount of girly style. And the wigs cap off the look in an eclectic way. This is not my style, but I see the appeal to a more edgy type of customer.
