Isle of Wight Festival. Girls with the bouffant hairstyle popular at the time

HURN David (Photographer)

Full title: Isle of Wight Festival. Girls with the bouffant hairstyle popular at the time. It was a mainstream hairstyle in the mid-to-late 18th century in western Europe. It was thought to be created for Marie Antoinette, as she had relatively thin hair and wanted to create the illusion of having very full hair.
