It's only fitting that Kendall Jenner-fashion's new breakout star-should make her haute couture debut at Chanel with a beauty look inspired by 'eighties boy bands' and their gravity-defying New Wave quiffs. With 11 million Instagram followers to her name, after all, the reality star and model is as close to this decade's version of a pop culture phenomenon as it gets.
Backstage in the hours before the show, Jenner sat for hairstylist Sam McKnight, who was crafting a slightly punkish variation of the look based on a sketch by designer Karl Lagerfeld. Think Menudo or maybe Jordan Knight from New Kids on the Block-but with a dash of Morrissey circa Viva Hate.
McKnight started off by slicking models' real hair into flat chignons to be hidden later under the low-sitting boyish caps. Then came the hairpieces-50 of them, to be exact-which took an army of stylists an entire week to handcraft. Each one was washed in dish liquid to 'strip it back to a dry, malleable texture,' then saturated with mousse before being 'blow-dried, pinned, twisted, teased, and misted with hairspray.' Because if there's one thing to be learned from the eighties, it's how to master your back-combing technique.
