Nouvelle Art by Filippo Sepe
The early twentieth century was a time of great accomplishment in psychology and science, along with a dramatic evolution in social, cultural, artistic, and aesthetic ideologies. This reinterpretation of that historical period by stylist Filippo Sepe embraces its spirit while creatively re-elaborating it with modernity.
Filippo interprets these influences by creating layered haircuts with dramatic yet soft fringes and facial contours, soft feathering within strong geometric shapes, long rebellious curls, and volume contained within severely blunt and angular perimeter lines. Femininely stylish updos, tight to the head and created with strong-holding gels, feature hair sections twisted, knotted, and intertwined to form geometric, repetitive internal designs that flow beautifully around the head.
Short Back and Sides
This dramatically sharp short haircut represents Filippo Sepe at his most inspiring. The amalgamation of a short back and sides, topped with an immaculately arranged asymmetrical quiff, uniquely combines both masculinity and femininity.
The starkness of the peroxide blonde color complements the style, enhancing its modernity while also endowing it with female attraction.
Waves, Curls and Flicks
This mix of waves, curls, and flicks creates an air of glamour while retaining a "girl-next-door" look. The shorter layer, teasingly flicked to one side, contrasts strikingly with the longer tresses, providing an individual and distinctive look.
The long hairstyle is achieved using curling irons and hair straighteners, as well as generous amounts of lacquer to give it bounteous body and lift. The reddish-brown color is both rich and warm, flattering the look.
Twirled Hair
This high-maintenance updo was created by twirling sections of longer hair together and wrapping them collectively on top of the head. The long hair was structured to mimic a short look and embodies chic sophistication.
The mid-brown hair color enhances its classiness, while red and blonde undertones add warmth and shine, diffusing the trimness and precision.
Tight Knots
This almost futuristic and robotic updo is formed by fixing a profusion of tight knots on top of the head. The bluntness of this style is slightly softened by the color and shine. Its strawberry blonde tone allows for a dazzling shine that embraces each knot.
This ultramodern hairstyle really defines the features of the face, especially the cheekbones and eyes.
Short Fringe
Short fringes highlight beautiful eyes, and this hairstyle is no exception. This exceedingly neat and symmetrical short haircut is skillfully crafted and typifies hairdressing as a craft. The sides have been lightly feathered to frame the face, providing distinction from the severity and bluntness of the short fringe.
The blend of black, red, and purplish tones enhances the cutting techniques and adds interesting color to this stimulating hairstyle.
