When a photo is taken in black and white, you notice certain elements more than if it was in color. You’re able to have a higher contrast and focus on details that would otherwise be overshadowed. In this collection, by stripping away color, and essentially creating a black-and-white canvas, Louise Vlaar was able to highlight the true angles and depths of her cuts. Named the Men’s Collection of the Year at the Coiffure Dutch Hair Awards and winner of the One Shot International Men’s Shot of the Year — keep scrolling to see the collection in its entirety.
“I wanted to create a beautiful white and even canvas to showcase my cutting skills. I also added elements with a wearable touch for a diversity of styles. This collection is for men who are looking for something progressive, tough and innovative.” — Louise Vlaar
