Fnf Finger Fhn Frisur (Paperback)

Paperback. A persons hair may be likened to the top of a mountain. But while mountaintops are often shrouded from our eyes by clouds around them, a persons top is almost always visibleespecially in latitudes that have given up the daily use of bonnets, hats and headscarves. Hence the understandably heavy pressure on peoples headsto get the hair just right. Over the course of several decades, photographer Peter Gaechter shot a wide array of hairdos for Zuerich hairdresser Elsaesser Pour Dames, tracking the changes inand revivals of hairstyles in late 20th-century Switzerland. The present publication brings together a selection of his photographs from the catalogues on display at these upmarket salons, showing the latest hairstyle trends from the 1970s to the 1990s. These sculpturesque cuts and coiffures, which were to be reproduced a lidentique on the customers heads, were also telltale signs of the times. Whether a punk or Cold War Kids cut, a five-finger blow-dry, feathery Charlies Angels wings or Old Hollywood coiffurethe multifarious hairstyles of local beauties, It girls and actresses featured in this book reflect the why not? whateverism of liberal consumer culture as well as concrete changes in society, e. g. in the sudden apparition of a clunky cell phone included in the picture frame as a pixie cut accessory.Gaechters photographs also hark back to an age in which photography was still infused with a spirit of professionalism. There are no snapshots here, no affectations of an amateur aesthetic, no strategically trashy elementsGaechter's pictures target a clientele aspiring to distinction, as could once be said of the photographers craft as well. Zurich-based photographers Gaechter and Clahsen document hairstyles from Switzerland's upscale salons, tracing hairstyle trends from the 1970s to the 1990s.
