Hair Storm by Luigi Murenu
I’m loving this photo shoot by Italian hair stylist Luigi Murenu and photographer Solve Sundsbo. Appropriately titled “Hair Storm”, it was featured in Pop magazine‘s Spring/Summer 08/09 issue. You can really see his love for the 70’s in these styles. Born into his mother’s Sardinian salon, Luigi moved to Paris in the 80s where he started […]
