In honor of the opening of the new Goldwell KMS California flagship location in NYC, Goldwell Hair Care Global Artistic Master Dimitrios Tsioumas created Lampyridae, an original color and style collection. The exhibit, a one night only presentation, featured live models and debuted one-of-a-kind looks inspired by Lampyridae—a universe dedicated to the luminosity of the brilliantly colored firefly. The academy was divided into sections that represented the elements of air, fire, water, and earth with live models stationed in each. The visually captivating models were styled by Tsioumas using Goldwell and KMS California professional color and styling products to personify the elements.
