The Look We Love: Model Marike Le Roux's Pixie Cut

Backstage amidst the swirl of models, makeup artists, hairstylists, and dressers at the Chloé show in Paris last month, one fresh face stood out from the pack. With her newly shorn pixie cut, South African beauty Marike Le Roux proved an electrifying presence—eliciting the kind of instant “who is that?” reaction that is the hallmark of a truly transformative crop.

“I didn’t tell anyone that I was going to do it—not even my agent!” she admits with a laugh of heading to New York City’s downtown Bumble and bumble salon on impulse a few weeks before fashion month kicked off. There, hairstylist Jordan M lopped off her chest-length hair to somewhere just below the chin. “I liked it, but I wanted it even shorter right away. I was thinking about Mia Farrow, and also Jean Seberg in Breathless. I love those old Godard films,” she recalls. After returning to Paris, where she resides part time, Le Roux sought out hairstylist Olivier Limbourg at the city’s Edge salon. He took scissors to it, shearing it into its current pixie-esque proportions and dyeing it a slightly “more sun-kissed” shade of blonde. The final result: A super-short, super-chic crop that bears a striking resemblance to the iconic look Vidal Sassoon created for Farrow in the 1968 film Rosemary’s Baby.

“I can’t imagine ever having long hair again!” says Le Roux, who loves the unfettered ease of her new look (apparently, so does Chloé designer Clare Waight Keller, who promptly chose Le Roux to close her fall 2013 show). “I just wet it in the morning and that’s it. Although I do have to get it cut more often now. Every three weeks. Minimum.”

That’s not the only change Le Roux has noticed. “I still stick to my usual boyish style, but I do like to dress a bit cleaner now,” she says of subtly reworking her wardrobe for spring. “My new uniform is a Jil Sander sweatshirt and jeans. And there was that little blue dress that I wore in the Chloé show. It wasn’t something I would have thought of before but now it’s like ‘Well, you know, that would look cute with the hair!’ ”
