Hypnose

Hypnose

Collection: Spring/Summer 2016
Leading French stylist Christophe Gaillet shares Hypnose, his latest collection of simple but elegant shapes and striking shades. The shoot features two color models, showcasing two very different looks. On the dark side, you see a rich, inky espresso brunette emboldened with flashes of violet and cerulean blue, and a shine line of shimmering brown. The blonde is equally bold, with pastel green and blue running through the hair, adding a pearlescent effect. The playful colors on both models are brought further to life through ethereal, fairy tale styling.

Ethereal

Ethereal

Collection: Spring/Summer 2016
What happens when you take airy visuals and enhance them with sophisticated texture? You get the Ethereal collection, a collaboration of larger anti-gravity shapes juxtaposed with soft textural combinations. Characterized by lightness and insubstantiality, the Ethereal collection evokes the image of an apparition materializing from nothingness. The whimsical, sprite-like look was inspired by enchanting fairy tales as well as the structure of classic ancient Roman artwork, as though the former were transposed upon the latter for a hard-meets-soft effect.
