This is a fashion photograph from Eyola, a fashion brand that was created by a London born Nigerian fashion designer, Aloye Adede. I find the hairstyle looks like a modern interpretations of the Victorian's hairstyle because a smooth middle parting are seen at the top while there are messy curls set on the side of the face which reminds me of the spiral curls that the Victorians had on the side of their face.

Although the hairstyle hasn't got any center parting or curls on the side of the face, but it reminds me of the smooth hair on the top that the Victorians have and also how there were hair cover the side of the face and ears were covered as well.

Nowadays, there are many Victorians inspire bridal hairstyle and on above is an example. Flowers were used to adorn the hair and this hairstyle reminds me of the mid to late Victorian era as the curls become more loose and move to the back. The top part of the hair was in updo while at the bottom there are loose curls leaving down. The hairstyle looks elegant, romantic and gorgeous.
