French hair artist Jérôme Fendt unveils Dry Flowers Inspiration, a collection born from the subtle power of faded blooms.
Jérôme Fendt explains his vision: “My work draws its essence from the discreet and powerful beauty of dried flowers. They tell a silent story, a dance frozen in time, where colour fades without ever truly dying out. This transition from vibrancy to softness inspires me. When the petals wither, they reveal new hues. A natural palette born from slowness, from the experience of almost being forgotten. I wanted to translate this poetry onto the hair, through a series of nuances. Each colour on the hair becomes an imprint of an antique flower. In this way, flowers never truly fade because they live in the texture of the hair, in the reflection of a light, in the echo of a season.” This profound connection to the lifecycle of flowers is the very essence of the Dry Flowers Inspiration behind this collection.
Hime Cut
The Hime Cut asserts its clean structure and radical elegance. This signature cut, with its straight fringe and symmetrical side locks, sculpts the face like a royal adornment. To soften this architectural hairstyle, the Mocha Mouss colour envelops the hair in a warm, luscious, and subtly airy hue. Between coffee highlights and chocolatey undertones, the colouring reveals delectable contrasts, all with a light touch.
Cornflower Mist
Long, wavy hair, styled in loose, matte waves. The colour plays on a graphic contrast between blue, black, and ash blonde, distributed in wide, irregular bands. A poetic effect, like a flower faded by time.
Carmine Memory
The image presents a short, precisely structured bob that softly frames the face. The hair is a light blonde, with a silky texture evoking the delicacy of a dried flower petal. On the ends, an aged red is applied in a sharp gradient, creating a soft yet distinct transition.
Pink Prism
The graphic bob presents a bold geometric square with clean lines, embellished with vibrant strands of magenta and pink layered over a dark base. What is particularly interesting is the hidden detail, the elegant twisted chignon that is revealed at the back of the bob, adding a touch of complexity to the overall style.
Blond Velvet
A slightly layered mid-length bob, worn softly to soften the precision of the cut. The colour, a uniform cool and matte blonde, evokes the softness of a dried petal. Subtle and refined. A delicate and timeless shade.
Through these four distinct looks, Jérôme Fendt masterfully translates the subtle beauty and timeless elegance of dried flowers into wearable art. The Dry Flowers Inspiration is evident in the muted yet evocative colour palettes, the delicate textures, and the overall sense of preserved beauty captured in each style.
