Transformer – Karen Bigler
Hair is a make or break element in fashion editorials. When it is good, hair can elevate the images and add an unexpected layer of interest. When it is great, hair can inspire you – either to make a change in your day to day routine, or just to stare slack-jawed and wonder how on earth they did that. Karin Bigler creates hairstyles that seem to require blueprints instead of blowdryers; towering up-dos, textured tendrils and a found objects are all recurring themes. Don’t be surprised if you see leaves sprouting out of model’s heads, or stickers arranged to form makeshift crowns – the unexpected is all part of the magic. While you may not choose to go all out and replicate Bigler’s looks for the office, looking at her artistry is certain to encourage creativity.
