Renowned hairstylist Guido Palau and model Kaia Gerber have teamed up for a unique collaboration that is set to shake up the fashion world. Despite their busy schedules, the duo managed to find time to work together on a project that is both artistic and innovative.
Palau, known for his unconventional and influential work in the industry, created a series of wigs while Gerber modeled them. The images captured during this collaboration have been compiled into Palau’s latest book, “Hidden Identities,” set to be released on May 4 by Idea.
What sets this project apart is the raw and unfiltered nature of the images, which stand in stark contrast to the high-definition and curated images that dominate the fashion world today. Both Palau and Gerber emphasized the sense of artistic freedom that came from not being precious about the process.
For Gerber, who is not only a model but also an actress with a distinct off-duty style, the collaboration with Palau allowed her to explore different personas through the various wigs she wore. Each wig transformed her mannerisms and essence, highlighting different aspects of her personality.
Palau described the book as a document of personas, showcasing the different sides of individuals that are often hidden from the public eye. The pixelated and blurry images in the book evoke a sense of nostalgia and rebellion, challenging the conventional standards of beauty and perfection.
As the fashion industry continues to evolve, Palau and Gerber’s collaboration serves as a refreshing and thought-provoking take on identity and self-expression. With their unique vision and creative approach, they are sure to make a lasting impact on the world of fashion and beauty.
