Charlie Le Mindu

An absolute genius. His hair designs are insane but fabulous. He blurs the line between art and fashion, hair design and self expression. Though his catwalks are haute couture and high end fashion, the concepts and the appearance of his work is extremely controversial like an art exhibition.

 
His latest collection for July 2013 (on the main opening page) is stunning and uses both hair and makeup to create a whole concept and idea and portray it to an audience through a catwalk.
 
 
Well known for his collaborations and hair designs with Lady Gaga, one of his most controversial catwalk was in AW11. His designs consisted of the models walking almost dead looking,being completely naked covered in blood, wearing gas masks with a soundtrack of pigs squealing throughout. The combination of all of these things and some models wearing white lace was so shocking but brilliant.
At the end of the show Charlie himself came out onto the catwalk covered in blood dressed as if he'd butchered his models.
