Global Creative Director for Wella Professionals
Eugene Souleiman created an
army of warrior-like models for the Haider
Ackerman fall 2011 runway show in Paris.
"The look is both outer worldly and
chic," says Souleiman. "Haider Ackerman
creates clothes for the connoisseur, he is all
about precision and
perfection, not softness,
and I wanted
to create a look that
was strong, chic and
very rich," he adds.
"I created hair
that morphed with
the clothing to become
part of the
total look, almost as
if it wasn't hair but a
warrior's helmet; part
of their battle dress.
There is also a reptilian
element to the hair, like the beautiful armor
of an insect's shell," he adds.
Souleiman worked with Josh Wood,
Wella Professionals Global Creative Director
for Color, to create petrol and metallic-hued
hair pieces, and then added these to the
front of the hair to give a subtle color effect.
"Our task was not only to create color
that complemented the fabric, but also color
with an inner depth," says Wood.
