New
York Streets
The world is meeting in one place: New York - boomtown,
mythical metropolis. Life between movement and
standstill, noise and serenity. Eight million people
roam in the American super city on a restless search
of the unusual. Artists, pop poets, anarchists,
bohemians live close together, trying to break
new ground. New York is a unique and daring fashion
cosmos an Manhattan its most fashionable styling
planet. On the Lower East Side and NoLita districts
the current fashion revolution has begun against
the establishment and the American mainstream.
Also against the fashion guardianship of Paris
or Milan. the New York City fashion is celebrated
everywhere on the island: from punk rockers in
the East Village to street artists in the West,
from uptown scenesters to downtown traders.
New York Streets consists
of current hair creations, whose diversity emerges
from images in the street: individualistic and
independent - a blend of apparent normality and
transgression. Each individual expresses himself
confidently in the wonder world of skyscrapers.
Intercoiffure Mondial's latest
collection reflects New York's street life: exciting,
progressive and provocative. The look: the extraordinary
downtown hipster style, a current fashion revolution
with a neo-punk feeling. Like a blonde with ice-appeal:
classy short cuts - sexy and spiky in vanilla.
Androgynous but still feminine. Woman are ambivalent
and emancipated. Like Patti Smith at the time,
New York's rock icon of the 80's, who was always
the first to tap the pulse of the age with her
poems. Her dark and shaggy longhair was part of
her power performance.
Dark haired avant-garde hipster wear dramatic
afro revival cuts with a touch of chocolate brown
- the glamorously emphasize the individualism of
big cities' amazons. Men's cut in the style of
New York bohemians: a long mane of hair harmoniously
combined with the rock'n'roll quiff. The idea:
Anti fashion is the trend.
New York Streets pitches
on contrasts and creates extreme looks like out
of the avant-garde district of Manhattan, but also
do-it-yourself styles for fashion freaks.
The collection is experimental, daring and rebellious.
Just like the band around Joey Ramone and their
motto "Hey ho let's go!" - just not stay
still. Rebellion sets the tone. "New
York Streets" is defiant,
free and with an inimitable balance between trend
and style.
