Balmain Hair Couture as official hair partner

In contrast with the polished and sophisticated fashion that graced the catwalk, Artistic Director Ilham Mestour took it upon herself to create diverse, cool and raw hair looks. Long braids, afro hair, shaggy platinum blonde, funky buzzcuts and the undone look. Showing that the 70s shag is back, with raw retro looks, whether via super long hair or a brow-skimming fringe. Though in the 70s quite set in place, nowadays it should be worn with more of an undone texture.

“I really wanted to show the contrast between the hair and the fashion and create raw hair looks, ready for everyday life” – Ilham Mestour
