Femme Fatale – Turban

For this terrific Turban look, Raphael cut and sculpted a fall in 3 steps, into 3 lengths, to
look like 3 different length fringes on one head.

He then strategically placed the hair in the turban to waterfall down one side of the
face, softening it.

Here is Raphael in 1958.  Very early days.  He is dressing hair in London, for Alexandre.   The hair is really  of interest.

This photo and the ones following from Raphael Santarossa’s days in London are from the collection of his brother, Renato Santarossa, a well-known artist.  They were sent to me for a 2017 Blog I did on Raphael in Modern Salon.  To see it, click HERE
