Dress-hair – 2024

What if we turned the world upside down? What if hair, instead of covering the head, were to dress our bodies? And what if we turned the concept of Hairdress into Dress-hair?

With this starting point, Carol Bruguera has created this new artistic collection, under the subversive idea that, if art separates us and confronts us with that which, in order to be common, we consider unalterable, so should hairdressing. Because hairdressing, when it passes through the hands of our team at Carol Bruguera, is elevated to the category of major art, like painting, scenography or literature. And, like any of these disciplines, it sophisticates the senses of its viewers.

Dress-hair is the result of pulling the thread (never better said) of this ambition, dedicating many months of work to the R&D department, applying a deep technical knowledge and exploiting creativity. The result manages to take us to new scenarios thanks to hair that, always feeling the protagonist, moves, spreads and moves to the rhythm of the body. And with no other purpose than experimentation that refines the sensibility.

White Swan Dress

It is the one that has a higher percentage of non-hair material to be able to withstand the movements of a classical dancer without breaking. The hair has been worked in two formats: small feathers and large flat lacquered bases to make the tutu and cover the rest.

Royal Court dress

The percentage of thread and ribbon does not exceed 2%. It has been created based on lacquered plates, forming fabrics with great transparency and leaving empty spaces that form polka-dots.

Carey dress

In this piece, strands of hair in three very different shades are intertwined in wide, rounded shapes. 1% non-capillary material was sufficient for this creation.

Cabaret dress

For this piece, 5% thread has been used to sew the strips of hair to a main braid that forms the neckline and back. Inspired by the cabaret style of the 1920s, it amplifies the movements of the dance. It is complemented by a small bag created entirely from hair, except for the buckle.

Macramé dress

The techniques used for this piece are not the classic hairdressing techniques, but loom weaving. They have worked in two formats, round and flat, with only 1% thread. A sleeve and scarves have also been created that can be used or not, at will.

Trenesis dress

Inspired by the techniques of the brand's successful Trenesis collections, trains and cords of different shapes and types have been combined, achieving a vibrant movement, typical of ethnic dances. A mask has also been created to encourage this idea.
