Hairdresser Spotlight # 2

Odile Gilbert
Odile Gilbert's work as a hairstylist has been one of the mainstays of the fashion industry for the past decade, linked with the catwalks of Paris, New York and Milan, she is one of today’s most sought after hairstylist, known for her incredible hair shapes and futuristic visions. She is one of my favourite runway show artists, and from her backstage work creates today's trends,she believes that each collaboration is not just a job but a dialogue and an exchange of ideas with the designer, in order to feel and interpret the mood of a collection. She also mastermind the whimsical hairstyles of the main protagonist in Sofia Coppola's 2005 film Marie-Antoinette and the next year, the French Minister of Culture honored Odile with the medallion of Chevalier des Arts et des Lettres, an award given in recognition of significant contribution to the arts. But no matter how long the list of accolades gets, Odile still approaches her work with joy and above all she is an artisan in the great Parisian tradition of "bordeurs and plumassiers."
