I use this photo as the cover for my Twitter – @HelenOppenheim – which is also for my Instagram. I’m also on Pinterest. I’m not on Twitter, Instagram, or Pinterest often enough but I am there. Also here are my albums on Modern Salon. If you Follow and Like all my pages, – if you Re-Tweet, Comment, Share, maybe I will visit all more often! Note, I can be found most days on my Facebook Biz Buzz – from where you can Share most photos on this blog. (Comments are appreciated on my blog and under photos on my website too.) This wide crimped flat on top hairstyle from La Coupe’s iconic 1975 “Sleeper” Collection is one of my favorites. It was the first time the crimper was used in the modern era, a 50 year old antique crimping machine then-hairstylist Elmer Olsen found in his Grandmother’s attic. Hair History. Really.

It is almost time. For the Fall 2016 Collections at New York Fashion Week. Stay tuned. In the meantime, be inspired by this interesting man with all his accessories and hair up to there I photographed in the freezing cold, in February, during NY Fashion Week for Fall 2014. Fab from head to toe. He didn’t wait for me to find out who he was before hopping into a passing taxi. I blogged here on him the next day and later added him to the Scene 1 album on my website, click here:
Six months later, I was scrolling through Discover on Twitter, something I look at every so often, and there he was. Did a little research. He is the Market & Accessories Director for Marie-Claire, known for his avant-garde style and impeccable taste. His name is Kyle Anderson, and he is also a Consultant, Stylist, Fashion Icon, to be found on Twitter @KyleEditor

Do you know your hair history? This photo features the first crimped hair of the modern era, literally created with a 50 year old crimping machine from the 20s – in 1975. It is a photo I love, from the iconic La Coupe Sleeper Collection. For more of this wider than wide look, and more crimped styles, click:
