Earlier that morning, Mariel had visited her hair stylist to join the leagues of fashionable women shaving just one side of their heads. Mariel told me it was the biggest change she’d made to her hair in years. Lucky for her, it’s a great look and she rocks it well! Mariel also makes high-waisted trousers look incredibly chic, and wisely paired them with snakeskin patterned ballet flats. She is the perfect example of the “New Minimalism” championed by Phoebe Philo at Celine that is sweeping through fashion, all the way to the streets of Chicago.
