Hairstylist Olivier Schawalder creates contemporary looks with old-school techniques.
“I hate mood boards,” says Olivier Schawalder. “I don’t need them, because everything is in my head.” For this story, the Paris-based hairstylist mentally assembled editorial, advertising, and film images from the 1960s and early ’70s , along with some drop-dead-chic Yves Saint Laurent perfume ads from the early ’80s. Not every muse was human—one of the looks was inspired by the iconic sweep of hair on Elnett hairspray cans.
Hot rollers recently eclipsed the crimping iron as his favorite tool, and he used them to dramatic effect in these pages. “Not so many people use rollers, as they’re big and heavy to carry around,” he says. “But you put them in, send the model to makeup and styling, and then, when they’ve been in for 40 minutes or so and the hair is fully cold, you take them out, brush the hair, and end up with something very different—you get a feeling and a texture you never have with other tools.
