Diane Pernet’s Signature9

In an industry built on trends and frequent change, Diane Pernet’s style is both constant and uniquely recognizable. Previously a designer in New York, now based in Paris, Diane’s blog (43rd among the current ranking of 99 most influential) was one of the first to offer daily updates on style and fashion around the world. A pioneer in connecting fashion and film, she also created A Shaded View on Fashion Film festival to showcase short films on fashion, style and beauty.
While her lips are sealed on exactly how she achieves her signature updo, it should come as no surprise that two of her signature nine relate to hair.
