The Way of the Bro Coiffure

POMP AND CIRCUMSTANCE Bradley
For women in the fashion industry, you need three things to stand out: hot friends in high places, some utilizable talent (sluttiness applies), and a distinctive look. For men, there's no easier way to look like you're in the cool club than sporting a weird-ass hairdo. As proof, we asked the first dude with crazy hair we saw inside the tents to confirm. And guess what! Fashion hair totally works, dudes. "I only have one legit invite, and that show isn't until tonight," Bradley (right) confessed. "I just walked right past the guards." Despite this iron-clad confirmation, we've run down a few more examples of fancy boys with fancy locks who help illustrate the point:

Keegan Singh
Stylist to some of the your favorite editorials and friend to all the coolest kids in the tightest pants, Singh is like a mystical well-dressed fashion godmother, so we were surprised when we found out his gravity defying pompadour wasn't held up by the well-wishes of dressmaking fairies or the tears of snow leopards. According to a gal he just styled for a magazine shoot, the look involves nothing more than a routine of rinsing his hair (no shampoo) and a douse of blue-bottled Finesse hairspray. How pedestrian! Keegan, we're appalled—nay, amazed.

Alexander Wang
It's no secret that everyone in the fashion industry shares a collective crush on Wang. About 50 people (with invites, no less) got shut out of his show last Friday, but even grudge-holding fashionistas abandoned their grudges for the cherubic and adorably bouffanted designer. "It was a shitshow," said a representative from Bismarck Phillips who managed the evening. "But yeah, he has great hair." We agree!

Hamish Bowles
We freaked out when the unusually prim and composed Bowles took a tumble outside the Bryant Park tents after tripping on some extension cords (do Vogue editors even bleed?). We freaked out double when his hair stayed foppishly controlled! His is a 'do to aspire to.

Jeremy Laing
Despite the early, early show on Tuesday, Laing looked impeccably well-coiffed. In a white button down and formal shorts (the trend continues!), Laing's asymmetrical curlicues lay in stark contrast to his model's greasy/frizzy styling (which we already hated on earlier). No wonder hair salon Bumble and Bumble agreed to host his show—the dude's got a great head of hair.
