One of the things that I dearly love about 2009 fashion is the constant revitalisation of classic motifs; a revitalisation that is also apparent in this year’s women’s hair trends. Thus, if you’ll permit me, may I present you with a visual treat that personifies the year’s 1940s hairstyle come-back.

With a late 1940s / early 1950s hairstyle laced throughout, this shoot features model Viktoriya Sasonkina and was photographed by Steven Meisel with styling by Andrew Richardson. It appeared in Vogue Italia back in September 2008 but is no less relevant now.

Late one Oxford night Daniel P Dykes set about creating a fashion publication that would go someway to being an arbiter on fashion as it appeals to the emerging power generations: those who don't remember a world without the Internet and for whom work plays second fiddle to pleasure. And so Fashionising.com was born as a publication for those who were focussed not just on fashion's trends, but on society's too, and how those trends could all go to heighten the art of living. Hence, Daniel sees a future where, for those young at heart, both fashion and style are grounded in traditional quality, but with a youthful, sensualised edge. Daniel is Fashionising.com's Editor in Chief and Chairman.
