Hair Apparent: YSL Models at Paris Fashion Week Look Whelmed

Perhaps YSL were trying to get one up on Dior during the recent spring/summer fashion week shenanigans in Paris, because their layered-to-the-hilt use of mammy-tastic expandable hairbands could be seen as a counter-point to Dior's structured kirby-gripped styles - but I'm not convinced.

Ramming a load of plastic bands onto someones head so their hair pineapples out at the top a la an 80s teenager is not a look that's ever going to come back into favour. Dior's take, on the other hand, provided extra structure to an already defined shape and while most of us won't rock the style, it did look couture-chic.

And it seems the models agree with me. Fig one, to our left. "Ah here. Ah jaysis here now," is what she's thinking. Yer wan on the right is having a bad old time of it too. "Don't look at me! For I cannot bear for you to see me looking like Limahl from Kajagoogoo." Ok love, ok. Calm down. We'll stop.

But before we click off the sorry mess above, tell me - will you be going back to piling your hair atop your head for that attractive Bananarama look this coming summer, or will you be leaving well enough alone?
