Bob Recine is one of the most creative and influential hair stylists working in fashion today. In fact, “hair stylist” doesn’t begin to do him justice — he is an artist and designer using hair as a material to create sculpture.
Unwilling to be bound by scissors and styling tools, Recine creates Dada-like assemblages using found objects like hairpins, sunglasses, paper, plastic, and headphones to produce eye-popping, provocative work. He collaborates with the industry’s most revered photographers, and has formed a creative alliance of sorts with Mario Sorrenti and Robbie Fimmano. Together they have blurred the line between art and fashion, conjuring arresting imagery for publications such as Another Magazine, American Vogue, Vogue Italia, French Vogue, Numero, Exit Magazine, i-D magazine, French Vogue, and V Magazine.
“For a person who they say is a ‘beauty expert’, I see it differently,” he said on Style.com. “[Beauty] comes in many forms, and its importance is how it’s utilized in the moment. That’s my perception and infatuation with beauty.”
You can view his captivating body of work in his recently published book Bob Recine: The Alchemy of Beauty, with photography by Mario Sorrenti, Robbie Fimmano and Bob Recine and an introduction by René Ricard. Personally, I can’t stop looking at it. Every time I dip into the pages something new emerges.
