Another season and another dramatic hairstyle from Agyness Deyn. Love Magazine revealed via Twitter yesterday that the trendsetting model had shorn off her angular dark bob in favour of a boyish buzz-cut. While her peroxide pixie crop spawned copycat styles up and down the land, VOGUE.COM spoke to hairdressing supremo Sacha Mascolo-Tarbuck, creative director of Toni&Guy, to get the industry reaction and find out if Aggy's new shorter-than-ever crop would catch on.
What's your opinion - does she pull it off?
Having such a short crop is the ultimate sign of self belief and I love the way that Agyness makes a real statement with her hair and constantly reinvents her look. Does she pull it off? I think with her bone structure and self-confidence she can do no wrong and I love her slightly renegade anti-fashion style and her naturally darker hair colour really enhances her blue eyes. The constant changing of hairstyle certainly does her profile as a model nothing but good and really makes her stand out from the masses of long hair we see on the catwalk. **What would you advise if people want to emulate her style? ** As with any haircut, suitability is key and haircuts like Aggy's call for a certain inner confidence. That said there are lots of variations on the look that can be softer for those not blessed with Agyness' perfect bone structure. This kind of buzz-cut can look masculine so you do really need to soften the look with the right clothes and make-up. If you want a softer finish, the lighter your hair, the less harsh the look will be. Do you think it'll spark a trend? As a hairdresser I do hope so! It's so nice to see some variety after so many seasons of long flowing hair! Agyness is one of those rare models that can wear her hair in so many ways and I think she's a real inspiration - we change our clothes every season but hair rarely gets that kind of attention.
