My collection is the manipulation of beauty and gender, and it’s impact on the Hair world.
Blurring the lines of gender is still creating fresh and new ideas for Hair, Beauty and Fashion. I was drawn in by Reality Star Raja Gemini on the cover of Stunnin Magazine, and the warm yellow, black and white colour pallete featured throughout (see mood board). The colour selection reminded me of roadworks signs, hence the collection name, D2R (a play on the word Detour). It’s with a kind heart that the hair world embraces diversity, bold changes in hair fashion, and a progressive outlook on beauty standards, yet much of mainstream society continues to struggle with this same kind of acceptance. Many of us want guidance, a road map and signage to navigate a sometimes confusing world of pronouns, gender, and inclusion. The white powder featured in my shots is symbolic of feeling overwhelmed, bombarded, and even attacked as many of us just want to find our place in this beautiful yet sometimes confusing world.

A celebration of power, structure, and unapologetic individuality—crafted through meticulously woven hair architecture and fiery tonal transitions. 
This collection draws inspiration from mythology and futurism,
merging ancient war goddess energy with cybernetic rebellion.
Each look is an Armor of artistry, sculpted with extreme braiding, directional netting,
and heat-toned colour gradients that burn from ember orange to deep volcanic reds.
The silhouettes are bold and architectural, defying gravity and convention.
Precision panel work and net-like textures challenge the boundaries between hair and headpiece, pushing hairstyling into pure sculpture.
The collection showcases a fusion of traditional braiding craftsmanship with high-fashion edge, offering a visual dialogue between chaos and control, softness and strength.
Our models become warriors of the avant-garde—each one unique, yet part of a connected narrative.
Makeup is intentionally striking, enhancing the editorial impact with bold lips, structured skin, and tonal shadowing to echo the warmth and complexity of the hair.
This body of work is not just about hairstyling—it is about storytelling through form, texture, and movement. Obsidian Weave invites the viewer to step into a world where hair becomes myth, and every strand weaves a legend.

La Movida was an aesthetic and emotional Big Bang:
the ecstatic adolescence of a nation that, after the long night of Francoism,
reclaimed the right to dream in color.
In Madrid, punk slipped through the cracks of the system and blended with domestic glam,
arty pop, guilt-free kitsch, and a neighborhood Dadaism that turned any bedroom into a set.
This collection, generated entirely with AI, doesn’t illustrate the past; it remixes it for 2025/2026
and turns it into the language of hairdressing.
We present four images as a small visual manifesto where hair speaks:
fringes as sharp as fanzine headlines, triangular volumes that defy gravity, evolved mullets, shags, and pixie-shags/pixie-mullets with razor precision.
The colors speak of energy and nightlife: luminous coppers with shadow roots, pearl platinum
with a pink glaze, beige-ash panels, and a translucent turquoise that nods to neon.
Texture swings between satin polish and controlled disorder; the finish is tactile, almost sonic—like a
guitar strumming at Rock-Ola.
Sexual ambiguity—so intrinsic to that scene—emerges in the duo “Neon Twins,” where
identities rub off on each other: there is no she/he, only attitude.
In the background, an emotional lineage: Ouka Leele and García-Alix, La Edad de Oro, Malasaña, and the cassettes that documented the urgency.
Using AI here fits the spirit of La Movida: appropriation, collage, low-fi turned high-fi. Just as
magazines were once assembled with scissors and glue, today we assemble pixels to build icons
that feel new yet familiar.
The editorial goal is clear: to offer an exportable rereading of the 1980–1985 Madrid aesthetic
that breathes today. Not nostalgia, but the present: hairdressing as manifesto, image as a shout,
and Madrid as a verb.
