In his hairstyle collection "Fabric," Ken Picton chose texture as the star of the show. In these eight hairstyles, various types of texture are explored in both long and short cuts with sleek or turbulent surfaces.
Waves, curls, and razor cuts are combined with intense texture created using state-of-the-art styling techniques. Common to all is an innate passion for fashion, vintage inspiration, and modern appeal. Feminine, bold, and unique, as with all of Picton's creations, this stylish collection focuses on the form and artistry of cut and styling while the hair color takes a backseat.
Classic Long Hairstyle
Luxury and long curls are synonymous when it comes to hair. In his version of this timeless classic, Ken Picton plays with the energy of a natural flow and strategic interaction.
While most of the long waves seem to follow their own course, some sections, such as just above her left eye, are shaped with intention.
Festive Updo
Festive from root to tip, without the stiffness and formality of many updos, this airy creation floats above the rest. The casual appearance belies the elaborate work of a skilled stylist who crafted this fabulous headdress.
The hair is gathered loosely with an oversized banana roll in the back, and all aspects are exaggerated. Free-moving strands spill out on all sides, providing rhythmic motion and sensual allure.
Pageboy with a Longer Back
The pageboy meets modern chic. A retro fringe evokes a very London state of mind, while the elegant curve of the longer back adds sophistication. The texture features smooth surfaces, straight lines, and marbleized highlights on a dark base.
With all the straightness and smoothness, the tiny wedge in front of the ears becomes a major eye-catcher.
Long Hair with Spirals
Innumerable spirals and curls seem poised to take over the world. Large shapes on top evolve from the smaller structures in the lower half, expressing an upward movement like bubbling lava emerging from the earth's core.
The baroque abundance is on the verge of overwhelming but maintains a beautiful balance, with the weight skillfully distributed through long layers.
Short Razor Cut
Texture throughout keeps the volume fluffy and the appearance soft, yet it gives the pixie haircut a modern edge. The very short sides are topped by longer strands that can be styled in numerous ways.
In or out of the face, it does not matter, as the perfect cut with its underlying structure and contour looks great in all its variations.
Deconstructed Hairstyle
Hairy turbulences sweep a classic one-length, curly edge hairstyle out of its sophisticated box. The deconstruction of a neat and beloved look brings well-known elegance to surprising new heights. The deliberate, partial deconstruction creates space for new passion and creative expression.
Freestyle Haircut
Nothing remains still; perpetual motion defines the spirit of this sleek, long haircut. Texture created through movement makes the cut less important than the energy flowing through it. This is freestyle in its purest form. Highlights and lowlights cast shadows and focal points, aiding the flow.
Chin-Length Bob
From a distance, the shape is that of the perhaps most timeless classic: a chin-length bob. Upon closer inspection, the refined artistry of texture is nothing less than stunning.
Fine crinkled, rippled, and furry surface action is achieved through the cut and styling. The intriguing effect plays with our perception and senses, leaving us with a desire for more.
