Beauty On The Streets: How to Wear Runway Trends
The hair and makeup looks at Fashion Week range from pretty to wacky and everything in between. But these women prove that even the most out-there trends can be wearable
Even though Fashion Week showcases a season that's more than six months away (everything we saw this month is for fall 2012), it's seriously tempting to try the hairstyles and makeup looks now. And so many of the women we spotted on the street -- whether they were going to the shows or not -- were doing just that. From bold lip colors to big hairstyles, they were test-driving the trends mere minutes after they appeared on the catwalk.
It made us think way back to Alexander Wang's spring 2010 collection -- aka the most blatant example of a runway beauty look immediately making a cameo in real life. The models paraded down the catwalk wearing long, rope-like side braids, and the very next day half the women at Fashion Week were wearing their hair the same way.
Check out how real women are wearing the hottest hairstyles and makeup trends.
While most of what we saw this season wasn't quite so obvious, we appreciate the way these women interpreted the hair and makeup even more. Instead of copying everything exactly -- and risk being mistaken for models who got lost looking for the backstage entrance -- they gave it their own unique spins. So even though the street beauty looks aren't exact replicas of the runway, we think they're even more inspiring -- and a whole lot easier to wear.
