For years Croydon has had the unfortunate honour of being the birthplace of the much derided Croydon Facelift, a greasy slicked back pony tail associated with chavs and similar undesirables. Now it seems Croydon has made a comeback. The look was sported on the catwalk recently by the original Croydon girl, Kate Moss during a show for Louis Vuitton. Other celebs have followed suit including sexy socialite Kim Kardashian, supermodel and David Walliam’s more attractive half Lara Stone and Victoria’s Secret’s favourite Karolina Kurkova.
