New York Fashion Week has begun, folks! And so far, it's given us a really clever idea in the hair accessories department, thanks to the look by Odile Gilbert for Kerastase Paris. She used zippers! Yup, zippers!

And here's an adorable shot the CFDA tweeted out:

Here's a clearer pic of a model sporting the look:

Now, from the how-to I got last night, it seems that Odile actually zippered them in. Here are the steps:

-Prepare damp hair with Kerastase Mousse Volumactive and blow dry.

-Curl hair in sections with a large barrel curling iron to create loose, shiny waves.

-Take a zipper and tie it underneath the hair to create a headband.

-Open up the zipper on one side of the head, and taking a front side section of the hair, twirl and tuck the piece into the zipper.

-Spray all over Double Force Hairspray to keep the style in place.

-Apply a pea-sized amount of Elixir Ultime Rose Milleanaire to add shine to the ends of the hair.

See? But I think I'd just tie an already-closed one around my head to avoid snagging—plus, it would make the whole thing so much simpler.

Would you ever go for this idea? Think it's brilliant or silly?
