Marc Jacobs' spring 2010 Louis Vuitton show in Paris
By Emili Vesilind, Special to The Times
Leave it to provocateur Marc Jacobs to roll out one of the most culturally significant hairdos of the last century -- then exaggerate it. As reported by fashion critic Booth Moore, the designer's spring 2010 Louis Vuitton show saw models marching down the runway wearing beach-ball-size Afro wigs. The clouds of faux hair were so capacious, it was a wonder the girls were able to keep their tiny chins up. In celebration of the saucy style's return to catwalk glory, we thought it high time to take a look at some of the most notable Afros from the last 50 years. |
