After years of Wags sporting nasty nylon extensions, the return of the bob is a welcome one. It’s hard to get wrong and it’s very easy to wear. Now, the bob is being sported by all kinds of stylish women, just as it has been in any of the past hundred years.
Its debut came in 1909 when the young hairdresser Antoine de Paris chopped the actress Eve Lavallière's hair to make her appear younger for a role on stage in the French capital. The stylist was then bombarded with requests for the look from women who felt it would liberate them from the tedium of preparing the long, elaborate locks that were then in fashion. And so the bob was born.
Today the trend is real, and some celebrities adopted this harcut : Victoria Beckham, Katie Holmes, Rihanna, Michelle Obama, Gwyneth Paltrow... they really start the new fashion hair, which is now following by a lot of citizens.
So we don't make new fashion, it always a cycle from the past.
