Inspiration came from original 1920s police mugshots from the UK and Australia
they were just so beautiful …. the attitude , the hair, the fashion just seem to translate to today so perfectly
I gave each of the models a “crime” and the hair was treated as a method of how the criminals would have styled their own hair, it would have been dirty or greasy or both, but always “done”.
