SPREAD UM: “Alien” Kathrin Thormann for Tush by Paul Empson
Edited by Monique Montagnese, Contributor
Ever since the Fall 2007 Chanel show crimped hair has turned from a cruel form of torture I used to put my Barbie dolls through into something I really really want to regard as chic. You may disagree but you have to admit it looks pretty damn good on Jane from Sea of Shoes and Kathrin Thormann in this editorial. “Alien”, the name of this spread, seems like a subdued hint that I should shut up, that crimped hair is a bad idea that should stay away from planet earth. I’m choosing to ignore that hint.

Tyra’s been spotted rocking crimped hair. I knew it was only a matter of time before someone attempted to rehash this 80/90′s hair disaster.
To be completely honest though, I really do like the way this looks on Tyra. The crimp almost feels like what a white chick would do if she wanted to get some afrodite-esque hair. And since Tyra really doesn’t have any of her own hair, this look works well since it isn’t actually destroying her locks.
So I guess what I’m saying is that this look might actually work if you had a weave, wig or extensions. Other than that I would never suggest destroying your hair for the chance to catch onto this trend.
I guess I’m also complimenting Tyra, which might just be a first on Fashion Indie (I personally love her, but some of our other writers are less than excited about the Top Model).

When asked about her 90s crimped hair, Tyra proudly replied “Oh! I invented crimped hair. Don’t you know?“
Sorry Tyra, if my memory serves me correctly, I think Clueless taught us crimped hair. Whatever the history, it looks very dated, the makeup on the other hand is flawless!
