Rome Fashion Week featured runway models with hair sculptures yesterday at Lorenzo Riva fashion show.
The former Balenciaga designer paid homage to the 1970s heyday of actresses such as Monica Vitti with a collection that includes feminine skirt suits, gowns with big bows at the waist and lots of large, black-and-white patterns.
But the Lorenzo Riva fashion show was not memorable because of the dresses but because of the attention-grabbing runway hairs, which were actually hats.

For designer Lorenzo Riva, the hairstyles were just one element of his fashion show that calls for the return of elegance to Rome:
"Haute Couture must stay here. Now if only one 'big name' designer would return to Rome, the other Italian stylists would come home too."
