Do you like the bob?
Arguably one of the earliest beauties of the bob was Louise Brooks, 20s heartthrob and silver screen goddess. Brooks’ bold hairstyle not only revealed her neck but a different way women were represented and represented themselves.
In the same way that big shoulder-pads have spelt empowerment for women (cf. Vivenne Westwood post), so short hair speaks of women breaking socio-cultural moulds, see the flappers of the twenties and the Mia Farrow’s biting her thumb at the establishment with her now iconoclastic pixie cut in the sixties.
Sadly but truly, one of the latest setter of this little trend was none other than ex-Posh Spice, Victoria Beckham who has subsequently converted to a shorter ‘do as demonstrated in this picture. Flunkey Katie Holmes has since adopted the crop and it looks sufficient but altogether too sanitised for my taste.
Rihanna has followed in an attempt to reinvent herself as a woman, in fact when I first cut my long hair short, my grandmother in response to the shock of my father said, she now has the hair of a woman (she was Austrian). And on the whole the hair is too slick for me but is entirely in place at a Cartier function.
At the same event Rachel Weisz was wearing what I’ve heard described as a ‘shob’ or shoulder-bob. It’s the half-way for those who want a foot in each trend, the loose curls and the neck baring hairstyle. And can I just take a moment to remark on her impeccable taste. Certainly she has an attractive figure but manages to manipulate each ensemble to the best advantage.
And my conclusion? Well I do like a bit of bare neck, and have tired somewhat of the goddess curls all too common on the red carpet, however I still cringe at the thought of Victoria Beckham as trend-setter.
