Whoever said, "What's yours is mine and what's mine is yours," probably wasn't talking about hair. But it looks like one stylist had a bit of fun pushing that boundary.
For Gypsy Sport's Spring 2016 show at New York Fashion Week, Bumble and Bumble Global Artistic Director Laurent Philippon created a series of towering topknots and poofy buns worn by both male and female models. Inspired by the fabrics, people, colors and shapes in New York City, Philippon explained that it was all "about mixing the aesthetical codes."
"Doing a guy's hair on a girl or doing a girl's hair on a guy. The mix of culture and the mix of gender is something I always stood for," said Philippon in a press release. "There's definitely a message of peace and understanding in the collection, and that's what I really love."
Philippon also used the same hair products on all models to achieve the intricate looks, including Spray de Mode to form a vertical ponytail which morphed into a tall topknot and Cityswept Finish so small ponytails could be backcombed and looped from ear to ear or from front to back similar to a mohawk.
