Trendlet: coifs come back

Written by Daniel P Dykes.

With a grey tonality not uncommon in Spring 2010 collections, and fitting cohesively with the sports fashion trend, the coif (the soft, fitted head piece in the picture below) is again capturing the imagination of the fashion forwards.

Styled from pliable material, the return of the coif has largely come about as a result of the work of Russian fashion designer Vika Gazinskaya. Though it appears from the following picture that Vika uses felt to craft her coifs, a woven fabric would be equally as suited to the Spring months.

If you’re after something far less minimalist don’t overlook a similar piece from Alexander Wang’s Spring 2010 collection; made of leather, it takes its inspiration from a boxer’s headpiece and is equally as suited to the sports trend if a little harder to wear day to day.

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.
