2013, although now a thing of the past (Happy New Year btw), ushered in the trend of ombrè hair. Oblivious to what ombrè is? It's a style of coloring the hair where 2 or more colors seemingly fade into the next (check out the pictures below). Ombrè technique is not only a style, but has become a lucrative business for all those talented enough to do it correctly. The trend spread like wildfire after celebrities such as Keyshia Dior, Nicki Minaj, and Trina dazzled style enthusiasts rocking ombrè at various red carpet events. But who is the actual originator of the ombrè trend? The answer lies in the editor of British Vogue, television host, and all-around "it girl", Alexa Chung. This 5'8" bombshell, who's also named the originator of the Peter Pan collar look and black-tie appropriate flats, is Britain's hidden gem. Her youthful face combined with her simplistic, yet trendy style has gained her a fan base including several fan pages on Instagram and Twitter and even the creation of the hashtag "#whycantIbeAlexaChung". Not only is she stylish in her own being, but boasts several stylish friends like Lana Del Rey and Kate Moss. Overall, Chung is incredibly humbled by her work and truly feels her calling is to inadvertently style the world. So whether you're rocking flats to a gala or expressing yourself by ombrè'ing your hair, remember to thank Alexa Chung for navigating us into the future of modern fashion.
