Forget the catwalks (OK, don't actually forget them...) it's what's going on just outside the walls of a fashion show that also has the potential to set fashion and beauty-centric hearts racing. Particularly, that is, when the areas outside of those walls are frequented by the world's leading editors, stylists and bloggers - the women who have spent an entire lifetime honing their personal style and aesthete status. 

You can thank the proliferation of street style photographers for bringing us a wealth of visual style gratification (and also the increased impetus to look good at the shows) and you can thank social media for the proliferated access to said photographers' images. But in all of this, what's all too often ignored is the question of beauty; of make-up and hair. 

So, here we've traced the steps of our favourite editors outside the shows of New York, London, Milan and Paris fashion weeks to comprise a comprehensive look into how these editors wear their hair. Hint: lots of low ponytails.
