John Sahag’s Rachel Saga Part ll – 1996
Photo: Eva Mueller
From the Rachel Saga Part ll Collection by John Sahag – 1996. The hair color saga continued from Part l with this Multi-Cut. It is now 6 months since Rachel Bick’s hair turned green after a swim in a pool filled with chlorine. With colorist, Jennifer Chune, Sahag decided to get her black roots grow in and, with a burst of creative energy, he took the cut to somewhere else to create a very new texture within the cut. “This opened up new horizons in my imagination … unlimited multi-shapes within one cut, integrating Rachel’s new regrowth for a totally modern approach to color,” said the legendary hairdresser.

A Betty Grable look was modernized by Karmela Lozina and the John Sahag Workshop Team for Kati Stern, the designer for Venexiana at her NY Fashion Week Fall 2008 show. The hair was swept up into ponytails, hair extensions were pre-set in rollers, having been straightened, curled, spiraled. They were then pinned on the front of the head as barrel curls – “like glamour meets rocky billy,” said Karmela. For more from the show click here:

Photo: © David Webber
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:
