Style: Rethinking Beards with Romance Was Born

story THE FADER

It’s usually about this time that most dudes start thinking about where to go with their facial hair: defuzz and go fresh and clean for the summer or hold on to the fur that you’ve been working like a well pruned bonsai for four months. Anna Plunkett and Luke Sales, the two loopy Aussies behind the label Romance Was Born threw a couple of beardo alternatives in to the ring with their latest show, including detachable doily beards and mustache makeup. But seriously the collection that showed at Australian Fashion Week earlier this month was awesomely playful and fun and made us wish that the doll-face toilet paper covers our granny used to crochet were actually life-sized.
