Elle Mexico

When stylist and editor Salvador Cosio approached me with the idea of collaborating on this story, offering complete creative freedom, I was excited and eager to create custom wigs. While I typically prefer working with human hair wigs for their natural appearance and greater creative flexibility, in this case, I used synthetic ones as a base.

On Albert, the wig was placed on top of his own hair, while Teo wore a mullet, created by adding previously bleached human hair extensions. For Jurre, inspired by Olivier Schawalder's hair design for Kiko Kostadinov FW24, I crafted a blend of length and color in his fringe. A braided hair tie is also my handiwork, an allusion to Schiaparelli's FW24. The final result was featured in the print version of Elle Mexico.
