Guido Palau on Fashion Week’s Biggest Hair Trends and How to Recreate Them

Guido Palau is nestled in the corner of a brocade couch in the dining room of La Galerie at Paris’s Four Seasons Hotel George V. While drinking a cup of tea, the legendary hairstylist and global creative director for Redken admits that he’s never been to Canada. “I know, terrible,” he says.

It’s day three of Paris Fashion Week, and the 56-year-old Brit is still composed and energetic even though it’s late in the fashion month marathon. He estimates he’s backstage six or seven times a year now, including Resort, Couture and Pre-Fall. He works with heavyweight houses like Prada and Dior and hits every major city during the ready-to-wear circuit. “I’ve worked with most of the designers for a long time,” he says, “and I understand each one’s woman.”

“Sometimes it’s for women to look at shows and just dream. That dream will carry them through, and they can take bits from there.”

The overarching message for the 21 shows Palau led over the Spring 2019 season is that “done hair” has returned. But these more labour-intensive looks don’t signal that individuality and naturalness are things of the past. “We’re not going back to an era of conformity where if you don’t have teased French twists, you’re not socially acceptable,” he says.

What is not going away is a desire for escapism. “Fash­ion is about fantasy,” says Palau. From his dramatic cuts to his severe sculptural styles and love of hair accessories, this season adds up to just the right amount of futuristic drama. “Sometimes it’s for women to look at shows and just dream,” he says. “That dream will carry them through, and they can take bits from there.”

I Tried the Viral One-Leg Jeans, and I Got Plenty of Stares

If you're into fashion and an avid TikTok scroller, you've probably come across the viral and somewhat controversial Coperni one-leg jeans . People who got their hands on them are asking followers how they should style them - and even whether or not they should keep them. Those who are still on a waitlist or are simply curious about the trend are going so far as to DIY the jeans by taking a scissor to one leg of an old pair. I, on the other hand, dared to step into the Romeo Hunte Black One Leg Pant ($232, originally $725), an alternative take on the same silhouette that's even more eye-catching (which, how is that possible?). These jeans were, without a doubt, one of the most polarizing looks I've ever worn - and I've tried some pretty divisive clothing, from Skims butt-enhancing shapewear to the brand's famous push-up nipple bra , and many a sheer naked dress . After wearing the jeans around town to run errands and obviously attracting some attention (st...

Oh, to Be Pedro Pascal's Sparkly Cardigan

Never have we been more envious of an inanimate object than when Pedro Pascal stepped out in a sparkly cardigan this week. As soon as we saw him walking the streets of London wearing the glittery knit, we longed to swap places with it - to be enrobing the heartthrob, catching the attention of random passersby, sparking internet discourse, and ultimately taking responsibility for his style breakout. Pascal has been serving look after look while promoting " The Last of Us " season one and "The Mandalorian" season three this year, working with stylists Julie Ragolia and Fabio Immediato . His latest came on Feb. 23 when he arrived to a radio interview wearing the shiny cardigan in question: a long button-down sweater made of silver foil yarn and created by menswear label 4SDesigns. He layered it over a sheer brown tank top and finished the look with black pants, leather boots, and his usual chunky-framed glasses. Just one day prior, the actor stopped by a photo call...
