LOCKDOWN TALES: Session stylist Louis Ghewy recreates his favourite pop culture hairstyles at home
Hair + Photography: Louis Ghewy
Quarantined in his London flat, Louis Ghewy set out to recreate the hair looks that have inspired him over the years, starting with a style of special significance: Guido Palau’s arched do for Alexander McQueen’s SS10 show, Plato’s Atlantis. For Ghewy, it was a defining moment, prompting his move to London to pursue a career in hairstyling. “At the time I was a 17 year old living in Belgium, and I remember seeing the show online and being sucked into the fantasy. The hair Guido did for that show took the collection to another level. It’s rare these days that designers dare to go as full out.” Below, the hairstylist takes us through his latest creations.
