The Kookiest Hair Looks From Men’s Fashion Week

Male models are typically excused from the head-to-toe beauty transformations that are the norm for their female counterparts during Fashion Week. But at fall 2014 Paris Men’s Fashion Week, which ended yesterday, designers used the lack of makeup as an opportunity to turn hair and accessories into works of art. This went way beyond man-buns: Designers like Thom Browne gave models animal heads made out of repurposed suit fabric, Junya Watanabe skinned several members of Fraggle Rock, and Alexander Wang drew inspiration from the smurf patriarch. Click through the slideshow for some of the kookiest and more creative hair looks from the men’s shows this past week.
