The Renaissance collection by Australian hairstylist Chetan Mongia is far more than an aesthetic statement—it’s a visual ode to the spirit of transformation, exploration, and innovation that defined the Renaissance era.
Under the concept “Renaissance Reimagined: a rebirth”, Chetan Mongia’s new collection draws inspiration from the historical period that marked the transition from the Middle Ages to modernity, blending classical references with a deeply personal and artistic perspective.
For Chetan Mongia, this project has been an intimate and transformative experience. Just as the Renaissance represented a revolution in thought and the arts, this collection symbolizes a creative rebirth in his own language of expression. Stepping outside his comfort zone, the stylist has taken his work to a new level—challenging his own limits and redefining his aesthetic codes.
Each look in the collection reflects the duality between past and present, between cultural heritage and individual expression. With sculptural forms, intricate textures, and a visual composition reminiscent of Renaissance master painters, Renaissance stands as a statement of personal growth and artistic evolution.
More than a historical reference, this collection reflects Mongia’s journey as an artist in constant reinvention—one who finds in hair a form of expression as powerful as it is universal.
