Fringe Benefits or, Bangs Away!

Being on holiday, I have a chance to practise my tabloid headline writing skills as well as comment on some less weightier topics (than, like, daytime television).


Here's a trend you can trace on the foreheads of fashionistas: the fringe. Kate Moss started it last fall, chopping her post-Pete Doherty locks into a 70s-inspired cut.


Model Heidi Klum soon followed suit, keeping up with the trends she might see on her show Project Runway.


After a few months, we see the trend trickle down from models to mere celebrities - Kate Hudson has been sporting some cute bangs while cavorting around Miami with Owen Wilson (who I was convinced tried to kill himself over her, but there you go).


And finally, our Friend next door, Jennifer Aniston was spotted sporting the shaggy bangs on the set of her latest movie.

Kate Moss started the skinny jean phase ages ago, and it took that style a good two years to hit the streets of North America (they were a bit quicker in London). My prediction? Fall 2010, we're all going to look suspiciously like our grade 3 bowl-cut bangs school photo...
