WATCH OUT! With the new leaning toward hair classicism comes the revival of the mighty bun, reports Lis Creagh.

This season saw a million permutations of that great hair perennial, the bun.

But more interestingly came a crop of structured lumps forming all over the head, a new generation of buns and chignons that morphed into spacey Star Trekkian styles.

They sprouted from just behind the fringe, or from the top of the head to the nape of the neck. These glamorised objets d'arts served to make the seaon's all-important sleek head a solid base for a world of fascinating shapes – in all colours and sizes.

At Rosemount Australian Fashion Week, Mad Cortes used neon orbs to echo fluffy mounds on the head, while at Antipodium we saw the quiff twisted and teased into submission, sitting centre front of forehead.

Hot from the Paris Haute Couture collections (above), Dior did coiled and candy-flossed pigtails while, at Armani Privé, the fringe became a solidified cascade of waves falling sweetly by the side of the face.

Back home again at Hair Expo (below), stylists went completely wild with crazy cones and giant solid fringes resembling blocks of shelves or massive waterfalls.

Hair stylists all over the globe are outdoing themselves to create works of wearable magic, armed simply with an idea, a brush and a medium.

Whether it is mousse, spray or talc, the elements dramatically synthesise to make hair, once again, imitate the greatness of art.
