The Brazilian architect Oscar Niemeyer became famous for his stunning curved lines that define buildings like the breathtaking Cathedral of Brasília. Now, this great mind of modernism has inspired a collection of wearable art.
Saco translates Niemeyer’s flowing geometry, clear shapes, and minimalist approach into short hairstyles, infusing these forms with colors of metallic pastel hues.
Lavender Wedge
A clear line, a narrow curve, and an angle that lifts the gaze upward define this dream of a haircut. The geometric shape features contrasts with one sleek, long side and one short, finely clipper-cut side with a velvety surface.
The dominant feature is a large wedge with a steep, clear cutting line standing out at about 45 degrees from her face, starting at the cheekbone. The hair color is a metallic, beautifully shimmering lavender that evokes retro violet candy, adding a cosmic touch and softness to the bold lines of the short haircut.
Pretty Pixie Cut in Pink
Combed back neatly, this adorable short haircut combines masculine and feminine elements with an outrageous candy color. Though it may look like cotton candy dusted with mother of pearl, it has a strong presence and punch. Dandy meets old Hollywood and takes off on a rocket ride into the 22nd century.
Delightfully retro yet ultimately sci-fi, all in one. The hair was graduated extremely fine along the sides and back, while the top remains long, allowing it to be styled into the most amazing shapes with a fine comb and a good styling product.
Copper Dome
Blunt and bold, a slightly wavering line all around creates an edge so sharp you might cut yourself on it. Only stylists with excellent cutting skills should attempt this finely tuned, balanced, and exciting short haircut.
To prevent too much uniformity, a gap was styled into the bangs, which are termed as such due to their position over the forehead. The sleek sheet of hair encircles the head in its coppery and golden radiance—a mushroom cut with a post-modern makeover.
Tomboy Cut in Blue
Transform into a cosmic messenger with the color of midnight stars. A blue, silver metallic hair color illuminates the short haircut, featuring long top hair, shorter sides, and a very velvety neck.
But it’s not just the out-of-this-world color that makes this short hairstyle so desirable. The styling is super refined, with the long top hair pulled towards the front and then styled across the forehead in a gently rolled inward, smooth, and snug-fitting line.
Round Cut
Not a single hair dances out of place. The classic short round haircut receives a geometric makeover from Saco, enhancing its architectural design. A round fringe brings softness to the face, balanced by the straight and angled elements on the sides.
The hair color enhances the visual motion with its ice-cream swirl pattern originating on the side of the crown. Strands in raspberry and shiny light gold pull you into their energy field before you know it.
Blue into Black
A turban made of hair! The retro feel is undeniable, and this short, very round geometric haircut has the same effect as admiring a beautiful sculpture in a museum—one just cannot look away.
Styled in a swirling motion around the head, this dynamic design is enhanced by streaks of royal blue against the deepest, blackest black ever. Smoothing products keep all potentially flyaway hairs under control.
