Fashion in Page: Bob Recine Alchemy of beauty

Bob Recine Alchemy of beauty

Renè Ricard

Damiani edizioni
 

Bob Recine is a creative and futuristic master of hairstyle loved by the trendiest designers.
With an endless imagination his creations are true wearable sculptures. He takes a head of hair transforming it into voluminous clouds, flowing paint or a shower of flowers. With the help of plastic accessories he creates funny cartoon-effect hairpieces. Now he is the protagonist of the book Alchemy Of Beauty, published by Damiani, that with words of René Ricard and a selection of Recine’s favorite editorial collaborations by photographer Mario Sorrenti, talks about the story, creations and world of this hairstyling creative.

“I grew up in New York City: living in the Big Apple allowed me to soak up all inspirations. The idea of beauty was something that I was very attracted to, it was very fascinating to me,” he explains.
He had never thought about the world of fashion until he created installations with avant-garde hats for the Henri Bendel window shops that had caught the eye of a worldwide famous hairdresser: Jean Louis David. He offered him the chance to go to Paris and learn to be an hairstylist. “I learned how to use hair as a raw material to style, on which to work on,” he explains. He achieved success immediately conquering the covers of fashion magazines and the hearts of Oscar-winners such as Gwyneth Paltrow, Charlize Theron, Angelina Jolie, Uma Thurman, Nicole Kidman and Tilda Swinton.
About the secret of his success  he says: “I let myself be inspired by anyone or anything that passes on to me honesty and an instinctive idea of beauty. I’m always seeking for new forms of beauty.”

This book is a love letter to the cinema from the House of Dior, featuring legendary screen actresses in signature Dior. The Fashion creations of Christian Dior have been worn by the likes of Marlene Dietrich in Stage Fright, Lauren Bacall in How to Marry a Millionaire, Ava Gardner, Marilyn Monroe, Sophia Loren, Elizabeth Taylor and, more recently, Charlize Theron, Penélope Cruz and Nicole Kidman. Before the successes that were to propel Dior to the forefront of the fashion world, the master couturier put his talent to work as a costume designer for  cinema, collaborating with famous filmmakers and creating timeless ensembles for legendary actresses. Following the untimely death of the designer, the House of Dior’s involvement with cinema continued, from 1958 to the present, with more than fifty films featuring the stars dressed in signature Dior. Combining fashion photography and never before published behind-the-scenes photographs, this  volume showcases Dior’s creations for film and the movie stars who brought them to life.
