Whimsical textures and ethereal shapes that take you to a dark, outlandish universe through the extraordinary imagination of Silvia Santos.

In the Japanese mythology, Yuki-Onna is "the Lady of the Snow". There are many stories about this magical spirit that is represented as a tall, beautiful and serene woman with long hair. It usually appears in the forests during the snowy nights floating, leaving no trace.

Finold's inspiration came from fashion sketchers he found on Instagram, such as @samualharrisonart. "I wanted to combine bright colors and bright lighting taking reference from Japanese Manga Anime. With this collection I wanted to make avant-garde hair beautiful to look at while keeping it feminine,” says Sylvestre Finold, 2018 Avant Garde Hairdresser of the Year.

These Avant-Garde looks were created with real, recycled hair. Hôhô in Japanese means "forms" and the collection presents hair in a whole variety of forms, with shapes highlighted by various stone-inspired shades.

A mesmerizing collection inspired by aileron, which is a hinged surface in the trailing edge of an airplane wing. Michael used feathers to create an imaginable surface tricking the eye to look again and again...

Salacia, the Roman female divinity of the sea and worshipped as the goddess of salt water, is the inspiration behind this collection. Represented through the medium of hair, it depicts the unrestrained movement of the sea air, permeating every wave.

High-impact impressive looks built around the always inspiring concept of the sphere – this is hair art at its best. This avant-garde collection by Fabrizio del Buono pushes all boundaries with its unique and dramatic hairfashion images.

Modern, creative and mysterious. These are the three words captured in Elena Verikiou's new collection. A wild beauty enchants the hair – alluring yet at the same time impressive. A modern version of the Garden of Eden combined with the Greek Mythology.

A blank canvas was the beginning of this collection. The lack of a creative idea suddenly becomes the letimotiv of SIN ALMA. Hours of work, perseverance and ambition, turn frustration and lack of ideas into the artist's own inspiration.

We’re playing with texture, cool shapes and volume, creating both short and long looks, ranging from shaved parts of the head, to inserting texture and mesh to add to the edgy vibe – this is Resurrection by Royals Hair Artistic Team.
