I do hope you will take the time to be inspired by these great photos, some from the past, but all relevant today. You just must check out the new John Sahag albums up there on the website and see how tomorrow’s man did hair for today, even in the 80s and 90s, why you should credit photos you share, the fab fashionistas at New York Fashion Week for Spring 2015 and, well, everything here, there, everywhere.

John Sahag Ponytail Extravaganza – 1997

John Sahag Ponytail Extravaganza – 1997

The legendary John Sahag somtimes sketched his hair ideas before a fashion show. As he did here for the Gen Art NY Fashion Week Show for Fall 1997. And look at the result of the bottom sketch! Not just a ponytail!

Hair was designed with a lot of action – for one designer, a ponytail extravaganza!  This show was a “Tour de Force” for John Sahag, always an original, and featured 8 up and coming fashion designers who each designed 10 outfits. Sahag and his Workshop Team created 8 different – and unique – hair looks, one for each designer. It’s worth a click to see the hair. At the end of the album, some of what went on behind the scenes, click here:

Chignon With Beads @ Carolina Herrera – 2010

Chignon With Beads @ Carolina Herrera - 2010

As New York Fashion Week nears for Spring 2015 (September 4th to 11th) here’s a look-back to Spring 2010. With hope and a prayer there will be more ideas like this, and not too many ponytails and nothing hair! This modern  chic chignon had bronze, gold or silver beads embedded by Orlando Pita for Carolina Herrera’s New York Fashion Week show that year. The beads, on a headband, showed through easy-going, gently-twisted, tucked-under knots of hair resting elegantly on napes. The hair wasn’t stiff, structured, or too perfect and was exquisite. For more versions and details how to do it, click

This is swimsuit bling as never seen before.  It is a spectacular swimsuit.  Designed by Amir Siama for Brazil’s Rosa Cha, whose sexy shows I used to love to photograph when they showed at New York Fashion Week. Wow! Hair for this 2008 show was by Edward Tricomi, Warren-Tricomi. Stay tuned …
