Intercoiffure Mondial is one of the most prestigious global organizations in the professional hairdressing industry. Founded in Hamburg in 1925, it represents the elite of the hairdressing world, bringing together some of the most talented and renowned salon owners and hair stylists from around the globe. The organization is based in Paris, but its influence stretches across continents, with member salons in over 50 countries.
This collection from Intercoiffure Mondial offers us a chance to experienceinternational trends and see the creative vision of some of the world’s top hairstylists. It also provides an opportunity to inspire U.S.-based stylists to think beyond their local market and embrace global influences in their work.
The Age of Elegance: New Collection Extension from Intercoiffure Mondial
Under the creative direction of Markus Herrmann, Vice President of Intercoiffure Mondial, the international fashion team presents an extension on the theme, “The Age of Elegance,” which informed an earlier collection.
The new photos complement the original works and offer a deep insight into the high art of hairstyling at Intercoiffure Mondial.
“Elegance is not a fixed concept, but an ongoing process that is constantly finding new forms and expressions,” explains Herrmann. “Our collection reflects the different cultural influences from all over the world. The collaboration of creative minds from different parts of the world results in looks that are not only internationally understood, but also celebrated.”
The perfect cut always forms the basis for each look- and the possibilities for varying it with creative techniques such as blow-dry, curls or color contrasts are explored.
The looks of “The Age of Elegance” thrive on constant change, new impulses and the perfect balance between tradition and innovation.
