SOFT CUBISM
Kimberli
Sassooning for Evening
Sassooning for Evening, with original hair accessories inspired by the graphics of cubism,
by Avram, Vidal Sassoon, NY, 1979.
Here, 2 Lumilar triangles – 1 positive, 1 negative – both refracting light into exciting rays
and colors zoom through hair sleekly knotted asymmetrically on top.
Hair and Lumilar hair accessories, in many shapes and shades, were created by Avram, who
liked Lumilar “because it refracted the light, like a prism, and the effect could be…wonderful.”
