As men’s clothing fashion continues on a revolutionary, rocket-pace trajectory

so too does men’s creative hairstyling

which has kept a-pace with design of avant-garde attire.

In addition to innovative haircuts

another aspect of expressing  original men’s hair fashion is

the application of hair colour which is

fun, bright   anything but natural shade.

 

 

…

Gents, it’s a rainbow world!

"skivvy" - do, distinctive hair styles, Favlook - Lookfav Focus, hairstyles, inventive hair design

 

 

The “skivvy”

is a term coined by meappropriatestyle as description for

a to the scalp trimmed hairstyle worn by a

fashion forward / fashion fearless woman.

An equivalent label in the male hairstyling world,

is a buzz cut.

 

…

 

Why the introduction of “skivvy”

into the meappropriatestyle fashion / style lexicon?

 

Well,

I nicknamed my own once ‘to the scalp’ do as skivvy:

to mean styled cut to the skin (the look)  /  sassy (the attitude).

I liked the resonant quality of the word:  sounds good to my ear.

I enjoyed having an original / fun  naming of my do.

 

…

A skivvy sighting on & Other Stories

 

Spotted on the web pages of

high street brand & Other Stories

(the 2013 addition to the H & M family

of Scandanivian cool factor fashion)  –

was a model sporting a “skivvy” do

with lined up hair and fade detail.

…

Love it !

fashion optics … anrealage a/w 2013

Anrealage, Anrealage - A Colour Un Colour collection, autumn/winter 2013, inventive hair design, Kunihiko Morinaga, monochrome, photo-chromatic dyes, Tokyo Fashion Week

Japanese conceptual fashion designer

Kunihiko Morinaga

(image from wwdjapan.com):

is the creative behind the RTW label

Anrealage …

a fusion of real and unreal, the expected and the unexpected –

combining inventive design elements that  are

at once in contradiction and yet wonderfully in sync.

…

Consider the Anrealage  s/s 2013 collection,

presented during Tokyo Fashion Week

 and fittingly called

Bone

It was of an aesthetic of hard and soft elements:

an exo- skeletal, grid exterior encasing

a fragile, delicate interior :  the ladylike tea dresses –

a juxtaposition of opposites.

(images from style.com):

Anrealage, s/s 2013

…

Morinaga is a master of light/fibre optics technology,

which was used for the exo-skeletal structures.

He expertly integrates innovative elements

into his design to further the narrative.

His s/s 2013 collection was a tale of imagery:

hard/rigidity with soft/delicacy.

…

The Anrealage a/w 2013 collection seems also to incorporate

the idea of contradictions in harmony.

The collection is titled

A Colour Un Colour

As to be expected from Morinaga …

expect the unexpected.

There is an eerie mix of playfulness and austerity.

It is how this is achieved, which wowed the show’s attendees and

as always, intrigues the aficionados of Morinaga’s work.

…

In his a/w 2013 runway show, Morinaga presented

pieces reminiscent of  the playful, progressive

1920s fashion sensibilities:

straight-line chemise, shifts, no waistline for dresses

menswear inspired tailoring for trouser suits.

…

There was a severe factor – accomplished by the models’ stern expressions

and the rigid headdress.

Models wore hard, helmet-like coifs chiselled into

1920s-esque finger curls.

 …

This play on opposites in harmony, seems presented in the collection

as a combining of:

 youth paired with maturity

rigidity paired with flowing

stern paired with soft

as expressed through the effects of colour,  print, pattern, styling

…

As expected, Morinaga used optic technology,

to enhance the visual impact of the runway show.

Yet, what was wholly unexpected was the execution.

What initially appeared as monochrome pieces

were transformed into pastel and sherbert hues.

 As models stood at unflinching attention,

the clothes subtly and softly changed in colour   –

a visual feat accomplished by use of

photo-chromatic dyes…

Genius!

…
