Creative Works by Fondation Guillaume Switzerland
Any hairstylist who wants to conquer the stages and photo studios of the world must, above all, hone the ability to turn inspiration into a hair creation. That is exactly what the Fondation Guillaume Switzerland actively worked on when, during a joint visit to the Kunsthaus Zürich late last year, they drew inspiration to create their own styles and updos and compile them into a photographic artwork.
First, they had to create a small mood board to visualize their ideas for their creations. At Friends Day 2023, they styled their creations backstage and were then able to present them live on stage. We’ve put together a photo gallery of them here for you.
