Jerry Hall and "Gustave"
Fashion Icon Jerry Hall ushered in the holiday season at the flagship store of the famed department store, Galeries Lafayette in Paris, with the help of a “monster“ made with Hairdreamshair extensions. Haute Coiffure Star Designer, Charlie Le Mindu, created the pink hairy monster which is part of a unique, show-stopping promotion of the luxury Parisian department store.
The upscale department store “Galeries Lafayette“ is widely recognized for its ultra-creative promotions and fabulous window designs, commissioned by famous artists and designers from around the world. For this year’s holiday theme, they launched the festivities with an extraordinary theme: “Monster Christmas!“ This unusual twist on the holidays included matching themed window designs and "living monsters" who stroll around the department store attracting shoppers‘ attention especially the enthusiastic little ones.
Charlie Le Mindu was commissioned to create his pink "Hair Monster" named “Gustave“ made with 100% real human hair from Hairdreams. Jerry Hall made an appearance at the gala and immediately took to the pink monster; she posed with Gustave throughout the event. Le Mindu used several kilograms of Hairdreams 100% real human hair to create this extravagant “Hair monster.“ His signature pieces showcase the possibilities of hair artistry which is why he fits so perfectly with the Hairdreams philosophy per its tagline, The Art of Hair Creation.
"With Hairdreams‘ multitude of 100% real human hair products and systems, we are able to offer our clients in the daily world of hair dressing, unlimited creative possibilities of hairstyling." said Hairdreams Marketing Director, Elisabeth Brandstetter. "Even if the pink monster‘s hair color doesn’t suit everyone’s taste, it still shows that we have something to offer for everybody and a solution to meet anyone‘s needs.“
