January 2 was the birthday of the legendary John Sahag (1952-2005). It will be 20 years in June since he went to do the hair of the angels.  How time flies.
I like to remember him like this, very happy, beaming with pride at a Wednesday evening Creative Night.

Happy New Year With Bottoms Up - 2025

Wishing all my Blog Followers a Happy New Year with this 1975 photo called Bottoms Up which I art directed and fashion styled way back then.  The hair, by La Coupe’s Kim Lepine for L’Oreal, was a classic one-length bob, angel curled with the bottoms up, just at the ends. The color was a gorgeous Mandarin shade, so new then it had to be flown into New York from Paris.  To see the color and more versions as well as the whole collection, CLICK HERE.

Hair: Kim Lepine, La Coupe 1975 for L’Oreal …  Makeup:  Electa, Electa & Corrado …
