Backstage at Diane von Furstenberg, there was no shortage of enviable hair color: Karen Elson’s deep vermilion, Julia Nobis’s shock of icy platinum, Fei Fei Sun’s glossy black. But it was Annie Clark, the singer who records under the name St. Vincent, who turned heads with her crop of pale, violet-tinged platinum hair. “I just got the color done,” she explained, leaning back into the makeup chair, a MAC artist dabbing foundation under her eyes. “The woman I work with in L.A., Pamela Neal [of the salon BENJAMIN with NEGIN ZAND], is wonderful. She’s very patient with me because I don’t take very good care of my hair!”
It’s been a year since the musician took her signature cocoa curls platinum (in homage, she told Vogue, to David Bowie circa 1974). These days, she’s experimenting with washed-out pastel blue and purple tints. Between trips to the salon, Clark has been using “a blue Davines conditioner to keep my violet overtones going, and there’s a Davines mask that I leave in overnight, which helps keep my hair from breaking.” As she put it, shortly before taking the stage to perform “Prince Johnny” and other songs from her new self-titled album (on sale February 25), “it’s a hair journey, a color story.”
Following a Friday night sighting of Kate Foley’s rose-colored ombré streaks at the Suno after-party, we sense the rumblings of a reawakened Fashion Week trend in the making.
