{ locks i love } louise brooks



though history gives us a gross of glamour girls to look to for guidance, few have cut as iconic an image as louise brooks ~ the silent film star remembered for her boyishly chic bob:



nicknamed "the girl with the black helmet," she is credited with one of the most influential, enduring hairstyles of all time, one that has been reinterpreted on many a recent runway:


en blonde: chanel haute couture, fall 2008


en noire: yves saint laurent, fall 2008


en courant: 3.1 philip lim, fall 2009 (via gobackstage)

and today in new york, the spirit of la louise is alive and well,
en la glamourai:


sisley sweatercoat, gap turtleneck, barbara bui leather skirt,
verace sunnies, vintage bag, alice + olivia booties
