CommentArt Nouveau Hair Ideas from – 1897-1901
Illustrations: Privat Livemont
There are so many books and so much online to inspire from the Belle Epoque/Art Nouveau periods. I give some of the inspiration I have used over the years, from one of the books on the period in my personal research library. I have always thought hair as well as fashions today can be inspired by hair and fashions from the past.
The Art Nouveau illustrations here are from the book – La Belle Epoque: Masterworks by Combaz, Leo Jo, Livemont, and all illustrations shown are by Privat Livemont of Belgium. The hair, hair accessories, fashions, and the corset are interesting! For link to book on Amazon, click here

A Belle Epoque kind of look in this famous photo published in British Vogue, 1983. Harry King, who did this great hair remembers: “We were supposed to go to India for this sitting but the visas didn’t come through, We all shot up with antibiotics for the trip and got a swollen arm! We did the ‘trip” in Lategan’s studio in NY. It was Maria’s first job as a model and she was terrified. One of the most creative experiences. It won the Kodak award in UK for best editorial.” For more on and by WorldGreat Harry King, click:
