i don't think it looks as soccer mum as karlie's. i think it gives her a bit more edge, and the longer i think about it the more i like it. i would love to see more pics though.
i was thinking...probably it doesn't mean anything, but she cut her hair in st. barths, flew to london afterwards and shot something which might be for i-D judging by the people she worked with. and then she posts the first pic of the new cut making a typical i-D face, and all the people she worked with commented on her new hairdo via instagram. maybe she cut her hair for i-D? maybe a cover? that would be so great.
