Contemporary Research - Chanel 2012 Sam McKnight

When looking for Contemporary Elizabethan hair ideas online I came across this hairstyle at the Chanel catwalk in 2012 styled by Sam Mcknight, This hairstyle incorporates loose crimping and also french plaits going up the back of the head. This definitely says Elizabethan to me and the designer must have been inspired by traditional Elizabethan hairstyles with the use of padding, crimping and plaiting being used. Going into detail the adornments used in the hair are pearls and sparkles which gives it a contemporary twist but the pearls bring you back to Elizabeth and her love for them.








I would love to try this hairstyle out as I now know the steps carried out to achieve this look. The plaiting at the back of the head was part of my inspiration for my final design which includes french plaits and also pearls on lace.
