Proenza Schouler’s Jack McCollough and Lazaro Hernandez marked their final show at New York Fashion Week before decamping to Paris next season with a serenely off-kilter, come-as-you-are aesthetic that could be felt in every bleached brow, shorn head, and electrified strand. The show also debuted a new, crisp hair look in the form of straight sleek bangs and series of noteworthy chin-grazing cuts on the runway.
So who better to grace the front row than Tavi Gevinson, whose own gunmetal granny-chic bob and penchant for exuberant headwear as a tween blogger have long given way to a pared-down sophistication that can project plush-lipped ingenue and art school wallflower all at once.
Today, the 20-year-old Rookie editor and Broadway actress had fastened back her waves with a pair of simple hair pins that might have been pinched from backstage, channeling just the kind of easy cool their downtown girl is known for off the runway. Spontaneous upgrade or carefully plotted beauty strategy? Who cares when it looks this good.
