With the news yesterday that model Karlie Kloss was rocking the Rick Owens trianglehead haircut during the filming of Daft Punk's new video, we investigate the seeming super powers behind that polygonomic do.

The straight, slightly severe cut serves as a crash helmet for some of the industry's most high-powered hegions and is, as you would expect from the name, just as Pythagoras would have wanted.

From Comme des Garçons' Rei Kawakubo to the late Isabella Blow, the three-sided equilateral bob (that's sticky-outy to you and me) is the commanding crop of those at the top.
