SIMPLY DIVINE
The internationally renowned Servilles group from Auckland, New Zealand (six hair salons, four concept barber shops and a state-of-the-art academy), is predicting beautiful, uncomplicated styles this season. Founder Paul Serville says of the cuts in their latest collection, Hair Divine, "It's all about the reveal. It's a cut within a cut—the wind blows, revealing the softer, shorter cut underneath, while the hair on top moves like a veil." Think of it as an updated version of the bob Victoria Beckham sported last year. —M.D.
