There are two women who have had a dramatic impact on 2009 hair trends: Victoria Beckham and Katie Holmes. It’s the latter, though, that is the true trendsetter. Of the two it was Holmes first took a risk on the cropped bob and soon followed up with the even riskier pixie hair style; all the while Holmes made the hair styles look hot. But as I indicated about this years hair trends: short hair styles simply can’t stay ‘in’ forever, and so one of the biggest influencers upon them has moved on. Katie Holmes’ new hair style is long and flowing.

Obviously the result of hair extensions, Holmes rightly chose an elegant curl of this year’s stright hair style. She contrasted her new hair style against a Jason Wu dress and Rousseau ‘Dragon’ Shoes.

Though not 100% convincing, I for one hope she keeps up the style and helps bring back the elegance of long locks in a world where bobs and fringes are a little too common-place.

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.
