A thin line separates evocative and sensuous from dark and sinister. James Forte, an international hairdresser defies all rules to look beyond the norms. And created the Somber Collection. Professional Beauty India gets you the glimpses of the creative hairstyling trends.
Hairdressers today are creating collections which are pushing boundaries of the hairstyling trends. And the recent collection launched by international hairdresser James Forte, passionately curated and evocative and sensuous collection.
The collection plays with texture, shadow and silhouette of the hair and features. It delivers a sensuous style with a gothic overtone, not unlike the fallen angel in the biblical references. The mood is irreverent, liberated yet slightly sinister.
James has experimented with classic shapes, pushing them out of their comfort zone. It is a progressive take on the contemporary style narrative of modern-day hairdressers.
SUAVE AND SASSY
This is one of the only dark-coloured styles in the collection. One side is braided in right and tiny cornrow-style, leaving the ends in a makeshift ponytail. The other side of the hair is puffed and styled, showcasing the voluminous curls. The style personifies suave and sassy street style in a new light.
SOFTNESS REDEFINED
The wispy flecks of hair framing the face in soft curls add a softness to the look. The otherwise gothic appearance comes into focus with this hairstyle. The darkness at the scalp and lighter tips provide an edgy look, fitting into the collection perfectly.
GEOMETRIC PLAY
The geometric outer cut to the afro-style right curls is a new take on the old hairstyle. It gives an edge to the everyday look without overpowering the facial features.
LIBERATING WAVES
In this style, the hairdresser is teasing into soft but defined curls, reminding of 80’s style. A touch of dark to the base of the scalp gives it the required edge, separating it from the classic style.
PARTY IN THE BACK AND FRONT
This hairstyle is a modern take on the age-old mullet. The waves in the front offer a sinister yet curious look. The hairstyle has an out-of-bed unkempt look, making it street-ready.
WINDED
The short and sleek bob is back in action in this redefined hairstyle. The pepper and salt hair adds texture to the hair. Sleek cut edges are just enough edgy to make the style sinister yet interesting.
SOLEMNLY SOMBER
Soft textures in the collection embrace precision techniques. The passion and precision of the hairdresser are visible in all styles. The braided, manipulated, and styled hair pushes the boundaries of current trends with a fashion-forward approach.
