IT would be difficult to ignore the fact that a host of the fashion world's top models have chopped off their hair in recent months. In Vogue's August 2013 issue, beauty and health editor Jessica Hogan discusses the new short hairstyles of Jessica Stam, Edie Campbell, Catherine McNeil and Karlie Kloss in her piece Cut Above - examining exactly why now is the time to reach for the scissors.



And they aren't the only ones to have made a statement with bobs, crops and shags. Whether it's Agyness Deyn's shock of peroxide blonde, Saskia de Brauw's now-even-shorter crop or Twiggy's famous Sixties style - models have set trends and even made their names with career-defining cuts.
