Banana clips are baaack, all thanks to Alexander Wang’s NYFW show. The models looked sleek and stylish wearing the vintage hair clip. The show’s lead hairstylist and Redken creative director Guido Palau says that the clip was chosen to celebrate female empowerment and the return of this accessory. “It's a new take on the banana clip and how cool they can look,” he says.
