This is Gwyneth Paltrow with short hair, worn with a cute little bobby pin. Love it.  The photo, found with the help of Lori Bermani, was taken at the New York Premiere for her 1997 movie, “Sliding Doors.” John Sahag, who did her hair here, had flown to London to do her hair for the movie, and she wore this pixie cut for a while. To see more of Gwyneth by Sahag, before this short cut and after as it grew out, click here:

Now this is an original idea.  By the great  one and only Oribe.  For Manolo’s NY Fashion Week show in 1997, Oribe working with Fulvia the makeup artist, created kiss curls in his own original way, drawn on. A beaded sculpture decorated the back of the head. This is just one of many original ideas Oribe created for  the show, which was  was held at Oribe’s Fifth Avenue Salon, with plenty of Gold Chairs,  and I remember Veruschka was present amongst other luminaries.  Time for more interesting ideas like this during NY Fashion Weeks.  Please!
