The 1920s have taken another deep-end dive into the ocean of hairstyles. But in 2012, the disciplined finger waves are given a modern update - now with more texture, more tousle and a whole lot of added sexiness. Read on for details of the style, as well as steps for how to create it.

There’s a slightly stiff realism to Louis Vuitton’s Cruise 2012 look book that makes me long for the fantasy of the sister campaign, which also stars model Arizona Muse. The former falls short of giving the Parisian cafes and picnics the haze of romance they deserve, but nonetheless the same waved bob and classic makeup make a welcome appearance. The mash of eras – from…

We’re staring into the ice-cream parlour lineup of eras gone by. Peppermint twist, raspberry swirl, lemon sorbet, set against bright pops of candy colour and the creaminess of classic vanilla. Bakelite jewellery has been revived along with the ’50s and ’60s fashions that are sweeping 2012. But while a structured skirt suit may be a little too formal and mature for most, it’s worth mentally…

The 60s might be long gone, but that's not to say that its Mod vibes are any less alluring. With the 1960s very much a part of the fashion scene again, our attention turns to the hairstyles and haircuts that not only have overtones of the decade, but also romanticise it. And romantic is precisely what the Mod bob is. Read on to find out more and be taken through the how-to guide.

Vogue Paris’ December/January issue is infused through with rock-star vibes of the glam variety. You need only look at Kate Moss’ David Bowie-esque cover to note that. Inside the issue is a shoot is titled More Than A Woman but it’s not the high pitched chirps of the Bee Gees we hear playing in our heads when we look at it. Arizona Muse looks far…

Arizona Muse‘s bob was a game-changer. A defining feature. The magic carpet on which she shot to (fashion world) fame. That’s the power of a haircut in the modeling world, much like the short cropped hairstyles that set Anja Rubik and Freja Beha Erichsen apart from the pack in recent years. Muse’s chin-length waved bob gave her an air of Laure Bacall-like classic glamour: to…

There’s no substitute for feeling, for spark. It doesn’t matter if what you’re producing is an artwork or a fashion shoot intended to sell clothing, in the end it’s most successful if it makes the viewer feel something. Beyond a doubt Arizona Muse has been one of the ‘it’ models of the year. But the pairing of Muse and Hedi Slimane in this shoot may…

Louis Vuitton’s latest Cruise campaign can have all the lush green palms and azure blue seas in the world – when it comes down to it, the thing that makes me want to step into Arizona Muse‘s tie-up espadrilles is her hair and makeup. They’re the elements that pull the campaign over the line, the icing of romantic idealism to the sponge cake of holiday…

The sadness of wartime creeps into the beautifully styled Call In The Cavalry. There’s a subtle, unspoken drama of a sort that can only come from the guiding hand of Grace Coddington, one that comes from the silence between a lady and her man when she can’t bare to face him but instead looks off into an imagined future that he may or may not…

Vogue Paris may feel like it’s struggling a little to find its place now that Carine Roitfeld has moved on; with the internet being awash with sentiments that it’s simply failing to amaze or move forwards. For Emmanuelle Alt, it’s a tough balance between keeping her own style and meeting expectations. Thankfully for Alt, it’s hard to go too wrong for a beauty shoot when…
