There are so many eye-arresting Spring looks marching down the runways this week, it's easy to overlook what's going on up top. But the look that caught our eye shouldn't be getting short shrift. Short hair.

A few models have already succumbed to the shears. Bangs are brushed forward and cut to frame the face. The back is rounded and tapers in at the nape of the neck. Think Peggy Moffitt in the topless Rudi Gernreich bathing suit. Very simple, very '60s mod and very edgy next to the sea of mostly curly, long tresses.

The timing couldn't be better. Look around and note who's wearing short hair. I bet your list is very, ahem, short. It's time for a change and, if fashion week is any predictor of things to come, change is on its way. Besides, most of us are already eschewing other purchases for one great haircut.
