Metropolis by Andrew Collinge
A metropolis is defined as a large urban area, a center of culture and commerce. It is also the title of the famous futuristic sci-fi cult movie by Fritz Lang made in 1927. In his collection by the same name, Andrew Collinge drew inspiration from all of this to create his latest hairstyles.
The very modern design of the impeccable cuts is inspired by the fashion of the roaring '20s, the futuristic ideas found in the movie, and the flair of the mega cities of the world, where fashion is daring and thriving.
Short Hair with Sharp Contours
These contours could not be any sharper. A precision cut with cult status. Straight lines, angles, and rounded parts come together as a perfectly balanced sculpture. The neck is graduated for a smooth fit, and the forward-plunging line of the side begins just behind the ear, cut so that just the edge of her earlobe peeks out as an additional design element.
Everything in this cut is meticulously planned and executed. The front is dominated by the diagonal side fringe, as straight as a ruler. Her dark brown hair color has a black cherry sheen, which makes her complexion appear like precious ivory.
Short Red Hair
This short, boyish cut dazzles with its array of red colors. Simplicity of design, keeping it to a minimum of length and lines, meets shiny opulence in hair color. Streaks of dark red are topped with amazing copper for a deep effect of light and shadow. Talk about 3D special accents in a haircut!
The back and sides are finely graduated and smooth into the longer top hair with no transition line. The graduated edge appears darker in color. The short fringe allows her eyebrows to make an impression. Tip: Use a lipstick in the same color family.
Smooth Short Hair
A hairstyle as reduced and clear as a logo. Brand yourself with a high-end hairstyle that could be seen in a museum of modern art. The pure black hair color is the perfect choice for this amazing shape. Nothing will distract from the design.
A dynamic curve runs over her forehead and ends at the corner of her cheekbone with a fine point. The fringe area is textured just enough to give it a soft edge. The rest of this Mephistopheles haircut is styled close and smooth to her head.
Mushroom Cut
Flawless and round wherever you look, this haircut stuns with its disciplined geometry. The consistent design celebrates the curve and comes with light volume and gently curved-in edges. It resembles a helmet or the famous mushroom cuts first seen in the '60s.
Laser-Sharp Bangs
The unsurpassed straight line of her bangs stands in delightful contrast to the rounded sides, which curve over her ears and entirely cover them. Balanced and with a minimalist approach reminiscent of Joan of Arc.
The exact length of the fringe is essential for this hairstyle to be exciting. With a finger's width of distance to her well-shaped eyebrows, the haircut showcases her face in all its beauty. The hot red hair color consists of light and darker tones and brings much heat to the simplicity of the cut.
Silver Helmet
The hair seems to float on her head and is a masterpiece of modern hair-cutting techniques. Like magic, neither the fringe nor the sides touch the face, and this modern helmet of hair made for the urban princess defies gravity. Magic is not involved, but an amazing stylist was.
The hair color adds to the cosmic energy of the look with a silver base and lilac streaks that accumulate especially in the fringe area. Precision cut and with the color underlining the design and expression, this is a step into a new dimension of hair art.
Gap in the Fringe
The same style element that makes little black dresses so attractive is used in the fringe of this little black haircut: a slit. As simple as it is, the effect is grandiose! A small, perfect triangle of skin opens up the dense fringe and is accompanied by another geometric shape covering her ear.
These clean-cut edges are a winning combination with the roundness of the sleek short hairdo, whose color is a deep, endless black.
Soft Pink in Blonde
A soft pink in blonde with hints of lavender tunes a soft geometric cut to the softer side. With the silky surface, it resembles a flower petal that just dropped on her head. But there are the graphic lines, sharp points, and extremely accurate curves that keep the urban edge in this cut.
A modern romantic with a futuristic flavor, she also wears her lipstick in an appropriately bold shade. High tech meets nature in this stunning hairstyle.
