Sam McKnight for Chanel

Chanel's Pre-Fall show inspired by the Elizabethan times was full of incredible hair designs.

The models had high hair lines on their foreheads, a backcombed or padded front and top part of the hair created that raised up area above the forehead and at the back was plaits intertwined into the hair design. I absolutely love the back of this design as the plaits are so beautifully places it just adds some extra detail to the design.

The hair looks like it was crimped but a large crimp to create the structure for the hair and I think that backcombing was used also.

Jewels like pearls were added into the hair designs just like they would of been back in the Elizabethan era.

The backs of the hair was incredible with large plaits and braids going up the back of the head, beautiful detailing.
