Known as one of the very first “fauxhawks”, this look was created by Philip Pelusi himself at the Tela Design Studio in NYC circa 2005 but so timeless it looks like it was created today!

Philip shares, “I was honored, Modern Salon picked me to create this men’s look for their magazine cover in 2005.  I wanted this look to have a masculine, well-groomed yet modern, almost futurist, edge.  I sculpted and finished the look with our P2 Honey to get just the right texture and amount of hold.”

Smokin’ hot…hair that is!  Sizzling multidimensional red various hair color and an incredible Volumetric Haircut The Pelusi Method Pix-ette Cut.  They pair beautifully with the delicate features of this model.

Philip shares, “My inspiration for this look was from the early 70’s.  It was part of our collection of Short Hair Can be Spicy and Color to Cut Educational around 2006.  And it was all created and photographed at the Tela Design Studio circa 2006.”

The term “Chiaroscuro” (pronounced kee·aa·ruh·skyur·ow) is an Italian term referring to the use of light and dark shadowing in a painting or photo.  This is reflected in the composition and lighting in every aspect of this Philip Pelusi original design, from photo, hair color, even the clothing.  Philip played with shadows and light to complement the design as this model was actually sitting off stage waiting to go down the runway in Paris!  Thus, the theme Somewhere in Paris!

The hair and image were created in 1985 for the French magazine Coiffure de Paris and was shown locally too on The Pittsburgh Today Show on CBS.  Mind blowing fact…remember this image was created in 1985 so none of Philip’s photography was ever altered.  There was no retouching or Photoshop or apps (weren’t invented yet) used to enhance or alter the photo, hair, makeup, or clothing, everything in every image is all real!  Kinda wild when you think about it.

Philip Pelusi shares… “You may recognize this model from other past post and videos we’ve created.  This look represents one of over 10 different design looks from this one haircut!  The essence of this haircut is the “invisible” layering system, with no space between the layers.  This creates movement with unlimited styling potential while also preserving the texture of the hair which is baby fine.  Cutting to the fabric (texture) of the hair and understanding the natural fall lines is truly the essence of the Volumetric Pelusi Method of Haircutting and Design.  This amazing hair color and color placement really elevates the haircut and design.  Simplicity at its finest!”

This edgy take on a classic deep wave gothic hair design pairs perfectly with thick, jet black, cat eye liner and this incredible embroidered shimmery gold gown designed by NYC renowned couture clothing designer Kati Stern.  She tapped Philip Pelusi for the hair design who enlisted Creative Directors Jeffrey R & Lisa K to design and create this look for her Mercedes Benz NYC Fashion Week Runway show.  One might say goth meets Cleopatra with you mix all 3 stunning components together, the hair, the makeup and the dress!  A real showstopper!
