Fairytale and folklore have long been my favourite genres. Where else would an old lady be allowed to have a house made of hobnobs? And what other type of writer would let their protagonist potentially sleep for so long? Beauty should be magical, should make us imagine, should come from inspired minds rather than celebrity endorsement.
So, imagine my excitement at the Aveda Colour Roadshow when artistic directors revealed this season’s trends are based on Little Red Riding Hood and Marie Antoinette?
That combination of other-worldly recklessness and exponential decadence made me want to leave first just to get a headstart on backcombing my hair. Models in vintage Alexander McQueen sashayed down the catwalk showcasing huge hair-ups stained with flamingo pink and muted purple.
Nonchalant tufts escaped the 3-D structures of candy-floss texture adorned with haphazard embellishments. Beautiful boys had dishevelled volume coloured with pale blue.
I sipped on my champagne and thought god bless Aveda.
