The Onna-Bugeisha were female warriors belonging to the Japanese nobility. They were members of the bushi (samurai) class in feudal Japan and were trained in the use of weapons in times of war.

Inspired by Japanese Samurai Warriors, this collection uses all disciplines in hairdressing: razor cutting, precision cutting, back combing, sets, hair pads, hair extension, hairpieces and wig work. All of the shapes play with a bold placement of color to accent the Geometry in design. 

Classic cuts are reinterpreted through new codes where color reigns. New chromatic dimensions and eccentricity. Fabric, textures and colors are flanked unlikely... what makes this fashion beautiful is the unexpected!

A journey through the evolution of the Punk Rock era. This artistically driven collection by Craig Smith juxtaposes the traditional tough masculinity of Punk with a distinctly feminine Japanese aesthetic. 

Last week Estetica USA had the privilege of going behind the scenes with Paul Mitchell and talking with Angus Mitchell about their shoot for their new collection!
