Of course, celebrating our natural kinks and curls remained tops on just about everyone’s list. “People are going to wear more texture, get more into wearing kinkier, curlier textures,” says Kim Kimble, who has been at the forefront of textured looks with her go-to client Beyoncé.
Their main desire: to see more than just one kind of kink or curl on the runways and red carpet.
“I definitely want to see more options—and not just super kinky or super straight,” shares Ursula Stephen, who is behind the slay of such superstars as Zendaya and Tiffany Haddish and was the visionary behind some of Rihanna’s most celebrated looks.
