Avant Garde is a creative explosion, and in many cases a technical challenge, that results in iconic images and lots of project inspiration. Detaching from the a priori impossible helps to tear down mental walls, a process that works as a springboard for imagination. While unique in artistry, this styling is all about exploration. Below, browse through an array of avant garde collections and delve into creating your own hair masterpieces. 

Next by Makeover is a masterful work that reflects the power of images when these are understood as an integrating language of different signs that converge to convey an idea.

Trenesis by Carol Bruguera is capable of achieving an innovative result by applying the traditional weaving technique to the hair. The finish is so surprising that it reveals the expressive power of the hair when its treatment is changed, when we work on it from another point of view.

Trésor by Juan Ayoso investigates a new type of femininity, outside the normative, through the use of different textures and motifs on the same combination of tones. The results are different, but within the same chromatic harmony, which makes this work even more sublime.

Velours by Yoko-Pels explores the beauty of velvet texture through hair treatment. The sinuosity of her touch is recreated thanks to the light, in chiaroscuro, which veils the luxurious tones of the hair. It is as subtle as it is expressive thanks to the treatment of color, light and textures.
