Odile Gilbert - Hair Stylist

[Hanne]

I love the way she thinks outside of the box...how she sculpts hair...
I wouldn't call her a hair stylist... I'd call her a hair artist

Odile you can do your thing with my hair anytime!

Wow, the Gaultier hat hair. Wowowow. So cool.

Amazing work.

I found this interesting website with photos of Odile working in studios and backstage for the Fall/Winter 06.07 Haute Couture shows... it's really worth a visit!

I was only recently pointed towards Odile Gilbert's work and was instantly amazed by everything shown in this thread. I then discovered that one of my favourite hairstyles of all time is of her creation:



This scan's not so good, but it gives an idea of what the hairstyle is like from the front.

It's nice but I don't think Odile has a contract with Aveda so how could she be Aveda's Editorial Stylist? Where did this commercial originate? Just something you found on YouTube?

Jason Wu F/W 11.12
Hair: Odile Gilbert
Makeup: Diane Kendal

​

Odile Gilbert, working for Aveda at the show, applied Aveda Smooth Infusion Glossing Straightener to damp hair from roots to end, then created a center part and blew the hair out straight, finishing with a flatiron for perfect smoothness. She gathered the hair into a ponytail with an elastic band at the nape of the neck, spraying with Aveda Control Force Firm Hold Hair Spray to keep flyaways in place. She then coated the hair from roots to ends with Aveda Brilliant Retexturing Gel and divided the ponytail in half, creating a twist, securing it with a second elastic. She pulled the ends of the hair up to the back of the head to loop the twist at the neck and secured it with bobby pins at the bottom for a fan effect. Next, she used MAC gold pigment and 24-karat gold leaf in the shape of a feather on the back of the head to echo the gold accents in the collection, completing the look with a layer of Aveda Brilliant Spray-On Shine for a high-gloss finish.

Thakoon F/W 11.12
Hair: Odile Gilbert
Makeup: Diane Kendal

“This is amazing,” said designer Thakoon Panichgul as he surveyed the look Gilbert created using a deconstructed hat made of colored yarn intricately woven into the hair. After the duo posed arm-in-arm for a photo, Gilbert turned back around to attend to model Kate Fogarty, whose long hair she was entwining with pieces of a black-and-white hat Panichgul and his team picked up in Nairobi. Each model flaunted a unique pattern that complemented her garment—vibrant threads of yellow, orange, cobalt, red, and green.

A Play For Plumage, Backstage At Alexis Mabille
July 5, 2011

While readers of this blog are well aware that, in our opinion, the feather hair-extension craze needs to come to a swift and decisive end, hairstylist Odile Gilbert made us believe in the magic of feathers again at Alexis Mabille’s Couture show yesterday—if only for a few glorious moments. Using copious amounts of L’Oréal Elnett hair spray to slick back models’ strands into chignons and woven looks, Gilbert incorporated a series of gorgeous, exotic quills into her coifs to complement the designer’s luxe collection. (The clothes, too, incorporated plumes.)

Birds Of A Feather Flock—And Sing, And Dance—Together For Jean Paul Gautier
July 6, 2011

In keeping with a ballet theme (one with the obligatory Black Swan inflection), Jean Paul Gaultier mandated a beauty look at his Couture show fit for stars of the stage—and for good reason. Ultra-French chanteuses Zizi Jeanmaire and Mylène Farmer were among the many models and muses Gaultier called up for runway duty this morning. Translated in makeup terms, this meant a seriously artful eye and classic crimson lip, which were executed with precision by famed face painter Stephane Marais. “The real star was the eyeliner, but since in my opinion none of the companies who used to do good ones still do, we mixed it up ourselves backstage using theater makeup, which really holds,” Marais said of the flicked-out strokes he drew along both top and bottom lash lines. To get the “true-true” red he wanted on mouths, Marais raided his personal stash of lipstick bullets from his own discontinued signature line.


An iconic songbird, Farmer closed the show wearing a huge ostrich feather number, which echoed the incredible feather hair accessories coif-master Odile Gilbert concocted for the occasion—the second time Gilbert has turned to exotic plumes in Paris this week. Anyone wondering where the feather theme came from got their answer at the post-show party launch of Gaultier’s new men’s fragrance, Kokorico (a name borrowed from what the French coq crows). Billed as “chic, torrid, and full of panache,” Kokorico is a heady mix of cedar, patchouli, vetiver, fig, and the paradoxical (read: bitter) side of the cocoa bean, signed by perfumers Olivier Cresp and Annick Menardo. Buff Basque hunk Jon Kortajarena stars in the fragrance’s campaign—himself clad in a black feather ensemble, in which he dances up a storm for the Kokorico TV commercial set to air later this fall. “I did nothing but dance for one and a half days before [the shoot],” the male model laughed of the prep work that went into his latest role. “It was hard but really fun.”

Here's a snapshot of Odile signing her book in NYC a few years ago. Being very modest and quite shy, she was terribly nervous but also very touched to see that people actually noticed her work. Just like her reaction to this thread. As she says: "I'm just a hairstylist!". And she means it. When the French government sent her a letter telling her she was going to be appointed Chevalière des Arts et Lettres, she thought it was an elaborate practical joke. Seriously though, she represents women who have broken through Planet Fashion's glass ceiling. And she isn't the kind of woman who pulls the ladder up after her. The girls here will know what I mean.
