THE RIBBON BOW
Over the decades Chanel has provided us with many iterations of beautiful bows as a finishing touch to clothing, accessories and hairstyles. Whilst some consider hair bows as somewhat twee, childish even, time and time again Chanel presents them as a covetable, fashionable and sophisticated adornment for the most on trend grown ups.
The last few seasons they have once more put bows at the fore front of their collections - including as details on hair. From double bows and trailing ribbons to bold and beautiful side bows or pretty and delicate flower crown accessories, they feel more cool chic than sweet and naive.
I love the monochrome bridal style - a soupçon of black against the white is enduringly modern and intrinsically elegant, so I lust after these bows in their deep noir state, however versions in white hues for the more conventional bride will be just as stylish and on point.
