Luis Kraemer - AW09
Women of all ages and types are represented in this collection by the French hair artist Luis Kraemer.
Young, playful curls are featured alongside big manes, sleek and demure cuts, classics with a twist, updos, and eccentric asymmetry. The colors are natural, and besides gentle highlights, there are no harsh contrasts of hues on a single head. The blacks are super shiny, the browns are warm, and the golden blondes and reds are simply smoldering.
Avantgarde Bob
This bob haircut is ahead of its time with a new, deconstructed, and reinvented shape. The base is a classic angled A-line cut, ending in a titillating point right between the cheekbones and the corners of her lips.
On top, a flow of textured and layered hair sweeps evenly across the head from the crown to the eyebrows, where it ends as strongly textured bangs. Two-toned coloring in raven black and a warm, dark walnut tone enhances the effect.
Full-Circle Round Cut
Mireille Mathieu has been a prominent supporter of the full-circle round cut with no edges or angles at all. The hair is cut in a bowl shape around the face with an even line curving to an oval frame.
The bangs cover the eyebrows, and the sides are long enough to cover the ears. Styling with a rounded brush and a blow dryer continues the round theme and adds a glistening shine to the silky surface.
Silken Wings
Curls as fresh as early morning dew caress the sides of her slightly blushed face. With a center part and wide curved bangs, this style resembles two curly wings. Large rollers ensure the curls are opulent, and arranging them with the fingers keeps the look well-defined. It’s a fun mix of retro elements, seduction, and playfulness.
Centrifugal Pull
This intense lift requires a well-structured undercut and a stylist par excellence. A partition in the middle is the only element of simplicity in this extravagant style.
She spreads her wings extra wide to glide smoothly over the fashion landscape. Extreme waves weave their intense pattern into a festive crescendo, reflecting the inner music of her passionate soul.
Meow Locks
A feline mane is the style of choice for mature women who have experienced everything else and now know exactly what they want. This precious bundle of curls cannot and should not be tamed; it comes undiluted and full of power.
Large spiral curls flow evenly to both sides of the center-parted voluptuous mass. Color tones ranging from blonde to warm nutmeg add definition and emphasize the structure of the hair.
Silver Power
These long waves are perfect for women of all ages. The simplicity of the straight, over-the-shoulder length cut and the center part does not distract from the gorgeous, large waves, the bodacious volume, and the bright silver hue.
This luxurious hairstyle is full of glamour and offers the kind of versatility that modern older women need. It can be worn in its plain beauty, as seen in the photo, or sculpted into a ravishing updo.
Vintage with a Bang
The lines are structured and linear. The spirit is free and inspired. A touch of flower power from the 1960s is undeniable, but there's also a nod to private school looks. Long sides, sleek styling, and straight bangs are ever so stylish and timeless.
The raven hair color has pizzazz and reminds us that you don't have to be a good girl to look like one.
Geisha Redesigned
Made in France but filled with the charm of classic Japan. A round cut is given an asymmetric fringe that is anchored way back on the crown and separated by the two bouncy sides, which were smoothly tapered and styled to full, rounded volume.
What a great and exotic twist on a classic. Seductive with the utmost sophistication, class, and tradition, but with a refreshing new twist.
Curly Tendrils
Even the young ones enjoy great style. A fun creation working with different lengths and textures is just the right look for this feisty fashion princess who clearly enjoys her curls. Pinned up in the back but blessed with chin-length in front, the defined curls and waves radiate happiness wherever she goes, in a golden blonde hue.
