Noir

Inspiration

The Summer collection 2024 from Vidal Sassoon finds the team in a gothic, dark and moody vibe. Following on from the poetic romance of the modern pre-Raphaelites that were showcased in the Rouge collection for Spring, these new looks have their roots in a Victorian gothic fantasy, a made up world where nostalgia-crazed kids escape into vintage style. Their experimental spirit becomes part of their look and identity, which is make believe and theatrical in a black on black manifesto with austere silhouettes and breathtaking subtleties. 

Cutting Technique

Lace in its patterns, delicacy and beauty finds its way into the edges of the looks and provides inspiration for the detailed edge of the haircuts, which are intricately constructed with the use of unique sectioning patterns. Outlines are bordered, decorated and accentuated to reveal their beauty, creating something weird and wonderful, delightfully intriguing

Colouring Technique

The colours for this seasons collection take their inspiration from early 1900’s fashion accessories, veils and fans with floral accents, also the work of Irving Penn, showing the beauty of flowers in their stages of life. It is a sombre palette, redolent of the work of French artist Pierre Soulages and just as visually exciting.
