The pin-up girl seemed like a bygone concept until Michael Del Bianco decided to give the retro glamor look a 21st century shot of style.
Art Director of Belgium’s XYZ, Del Bianco created the team’s autumn/winter 2009-2010 collection, Pin-Up Date, with new shape-building cutting techniques and “color patching” to enhance warm, natural hair color shades.
Ultra-feminine styles and soft make-up tones “re-invent the pin-up and showcase a new type of sex symbol,” explains Del Bianco.
XYZ Coiffure Createur, founded by Del Bianco and Severine Tielman, is devoted to cutting-edge style. XYZ has grown to 14 salons in Belgium and Luxembourg and has won awards for its styling creativity as well as a Global Salon Business Award.
