The Street Style Hair Trend That s Brightening Up New York Fashion Week

There’s one New York Fashion Week street style trend on a fast trajectory for a “Most Popular” win: A rainbow of punchy dye jobs is hard to miss when scrolling through photographer Phil Oh’s latest on-the-street shots. Brighter than the cloudy pastel lengths that we’ve seen so far this season, these looks have a certain smile-inducing power especially appreciated in the snowy streets outside the Fall 2017 shows.   While lemon yellow French twists and electric papaya chin-grazing crops pepper crowds of showgoers, designers are similarly embracing the trend on the catwalks come showtime. Jeremy Scott sent model-of-the-moment Olesya Ivanishcheva down the runway with a neon pink crop that felt as animated as the cartoon illustrations emblazoned on her matching sweater and lunchbox-bag combo, while Adeam’s muted collection palette popped against model Mae Lapres’s fluorescent cerulean shag.   Lapres took to the streets after the show, pairing her shock of blue layers with a leather-fringed jacket and relaxed Romeo + Juliet-inspired floral button-down that added to her look of friendliness and warmth. And in this socially and politically charged moment, the power of a mood-boosting statement can’t be underestimated.
