Crispum
Definitions of curl. noun: something having a spiral or inwardly curved form, especially a lock of hair.
“her blond hair was a mass of tangled curls”
ringlet, corkscrew, kink, wave; spiral, coil, twirl, swirl, twist, synonyms: corkscrew
The collection is aptly named “Crispum” derived from the Latin word for curl, meaning inwardly curled form.
The movement of a natural curl formed the idea behind my collection. With the current trend of bringing natural movement back, I explored working with the natural form and curvature of the hair and then pushing and manipulating it further to discover what hair can do when working with product.
Furthermore, I drew inspiration from my favourite model at the moment - Mica Argnaraz. The versatility of her strong look always proudly showcases the natural movement in her hair, reflecting the self-assured cool girl nonchalance I have emulated throughout the collection.
I hope to have created effortless looks oozing individuality with a 70’s undertone, whilst still keeping it modern to avoid appearing to retro. Versatile textured waves can work between the worn weathered look of a grungy music festival or smoothed over for a chic and soft feminine style.
I was also strongly inspired to create a collection that could bridge between the editorial pages of the magazine to the commercial needs of the client in the salon chair. Moving away from the standard go-to of the bob and working to add in more movement and softening square perimeters. Encapsulating fringes, curtain fringes and shaggy razored layers that resonate the rock & roll ethos.
