Bottega Veneta

From simple buns and classy French twists to sexy rolls, elegant braided chignons and rock 'n' roll styles, discover some of the hottest spring 2012 updo trends straight off the runway.

We know that we have so much to wait until spring, yet it is always helpful to take a peek at the upcoming trends. Among a riot of natural, bouncy long hairstyles, the catwalks also featured lots of sexy and fresh updos. Get inspired by these beautiful spring 2012 hairstyle trends and replicate the ones you love the most.

Up or at the nape of the neck, an updo represents a timeless style that reinvents itself season after season. New versions are being rethought in order to flatter everyone and spring's 2012 uncomplicated 'dos perfectly capture the effortlessly chic essence of the warm season. At Christopher Kane, hair was gathered at the back of the head into a loose knot with strands gently pulled across the face for a floating effect.

The classic, simple chignon has been around forever and the best thing about it is that it doesn't take much time at all to recreate. We saw it at Rachel Roy with a side parting and looking extremely chic, but also elegant and soft at Kinder Aggugini and Bottega Veneta. More complicated were the versions spotted at Marni and Suno, where twisting, tucking and weaving hair resulted into slightly messy, yet super-feminine 'dos.

"A hybrid of Thirties, Forties and Fifties glamour with a feminine, easy, casual finish," said Jeanie Syfu about the pretty and gorgeously undone 'do seen at Tracy Reese. So youthful and breezy, this style can be achieved by simply rolling the hair up and around the face. You should follow the same steps in order to get the retro and sophisticated updo spotted at Preen, yet this time make sure your hair doesn't look messy.
A very sculptural approach on the spring 2012 updo trends was seen at Fendi and Jil Sander where hair was swept away from the face, teased and bouffant, with a '50s-'60s mid-century shape. To create this voluminous 'do you have to backcomb your hair, slick it down the sides and pin it under in a faux bob.

At the Christian Dior fashion show, updos looked simply elegant, perfectly reflecting the modern, fresh Dior woman. Start by making a side parting, then roll and pin hair into place, leaving the result rather unfinished. Rolls were also showcased at Jean Paul Gaultier, but this time they were oversized and vintage-inspired. The 1940's rolls were amazingly complemented by vampy red lips and a fine line of black on the lids.

The classic French twist represented a fruitful source of inspiration for spring 2012. Sicilian-inspired at Dolce & Gabbana, dramatic and glam at Badgley Mischka, slicked-back at Narciso Rodriguez, and almost perfect at Rochas, this updo gets new twists, looking bold and otherworldly. To create this refined 'do, twist hair centered vertically on the back of the head and keep tucking until obtaining a glam look.

"Never too glamorous, never too androgynous, with a hint of rock ’n’ roll, Armani walks that thin line between everything," said hairstylist Franco Gobbi speaking about those bewitching twists spotted at Giorgio Armani. To get this effortless style you just have to twist sections of hair into different directions. Another 'do with a rock vibe was the polished, glossy one at Gucci.

At the Thakoon show, all eyes were on those eye-catching hairstyles. The look was bold and vividly-colored with hair pulled back and tucked into a messy braided chignon. A more elegant, feminine version of the braided chignon was seen at Moschino with braided extensions wrapped over the head.

Wedges are back in vogue. Look around and you will find fashionistas showing them off in fab designs and colours. Brands like Prada, Versace and Louis Vuitton will be rolling out their wedges in brand new avatars this year. When singer Kelly Rowland stepped out on the red carpet for the X Factor UK press launch, her wedge booties grabbed eyeballs. JLo, Ashley Greene and Taylor Swift are self-confessed lovers of the chunky heels. Back home, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, Genelia D’Souza and Dia Mirza are also flaunting them.

The comfort factor makes them very appealing. Fashion designer Prasad Bidapa feels wedges are for everyone, “Wedges look wonderful. Girls always like looking tall and this footwear is also casual enough for everyday use. Unlike stilettos, they support the foot better. Wedges are best suited for daywear and might not work for an evening outing, unless designed in a particular way. They suit any body type, though.” Shoes in metallic hues, particularly in gold and gilver are also trendy. “The must-haves this season are black stilettos and nude heels as they make your legs look longer, a pair of jewelled slippers that look pretty with ethnic wear and slippers that have a silver-gold colour,” he adds.

The versatility of the wedges is another reason people are queuing up to buy them. Veena Jain of One Stop Milano says, “Wedges are oh-so-comfortable. They are very stylish and can be worn with everything, right from party wear to casuals.” She recommends stilettos, wedges and knee-high boots as they are ideal for chilly weather. The fact that wedges are glamorous and comfy at the same time make them a compulsory buy for designer Neetu Gupta. “I love wedges! You can play around with the shape, add a little curve here and some colour there and make them fun. I have a multi-coloured one that is really cool. I bought several pairs of wedges this year. They are dramatic; definitely the heels of the new age,” she quips. Black wedges that are “comfortable when you have to dance long hours,” and shoes with gold and silver bling figure on her must-have list.
