Synopsis
Photographs of extraordinary hairstyles that will inspire anyone concerned with fashion, beauty, and visual culture, Fashion designers, photographers and stylists love the infinite possibilities of hair. It can define a look, embellish an outfit, show status, tribe or culture. Each hairstyle says something about who we are and where we belong. This book celebrates the art of hair: braids, curls, loose hair, mohawks, chignons, coloured hair, wigs, crops. Fabulous images from the greatest names in fashion photography mix with rare and unseen archive pictures. There are texts from stars of fashion (Daphne Guinness, Natasha Fraser-Cavassoni), photography (David LaChapelle), and hairstyling (Laurent Philippon, Orlando Pita, Julien d'Ys), with a few offbeat commentaries: Yannick d'Is on working with Avedon, Veruschka on Ara Gallant, Patti Wilson on the Afro, Amanda Lepore on transsexual glamour. There are celebrations of legendary fashion moments, such as Kate Moss's first ever photoshoot, together with burlesque heroine Dita von Teese writing on Hollywood glamour, a street-level view of London's Seventies punk scene, Vidal Sassoon in one of his last interviews, and beauty editor Kathy Phillips on blondes This book will be a style classic, a bible for anyone in the profession, a must-have source of information and ideas, and pure pleasure for fashion addicts everywhere., This book celebrates the art of hair. From African tribal fashions to today's new creations, each chapter explores a style such as braids, curls, chignons, short crops, Mohawks, and some wilder extremes. Rare archival images combine with fabulous work by stellar photographers including Duane Michals, Martin Parr, Patrick Demarchelier, Jean-Paul Goude, Herb Ritts, Helmut Newton, Robert Mapplethorpe, David LaChapelle, Nan Goldin, and others. These are accompanied by witty and informed contributions from fashion stars and world-renowned stylists from Vidal Sassoon, Orlando Pita, Julien d'Ys, and Sam McKnight to queen of burlesque Dita Von Teese, Nicole Tucker (Alicia Keys's hairstylist), and Kathy Phillips, former beauty editor at Vogue ., Throughout history, hairstyles have conferred status. Cleopatra wore elaborate braids; Marie-Antoinette's contemporaries competed to pile their hair outrageously high; punk fashion made a fetish of spiked and dyed hair. Hair expresses our individuality, and fashion designers, photographers, and style gurus love its infinite possibilities. This book celebrates the art of hair. From African tribal fashions to today's new creations, each chapter explores a style such as braids, curls, chignons, short crops, Mohawks, and some wilder extremes. Rare archival images combine with fabulous work by stellar photographers including Duane Michals, Martin Parr, Patrick Demarchelier, Jean-Paul Goude, Herb Ritts, Helmut Newton, Robert Mapplethorpe, David LaChapelle, Nan Goldin, and others.
