Format: Paperback, 200mm x 250mm, 1350g, 320 pages
Published: Thames & Hudson Ltd, United Kingdom, 2013
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.
