The brilliantly talented Katsuya Kamo is one of the world’s most accomplished hair artists, who creates some of the most intricate and beautiful styling for fashion editorial and runway shows. Kamo has worked extensively with Chanel, Junya Watanabe and UNDERCOVER, and for A#3 has offered this work for Haider Ackermann.

Simply titled ‘Brain’, the work involves four polaroid shots of a mannequin juxtaposed with a detailed line sketch of the human brain. The hair mimics the brain’s delicate coils – though bizarrely outside the head instead of inside. There is play between the purity of the sketch and the raw nature of the photographs – the dirty mannequin with remnants of makeup tests on its ‘face’, the cloud of fuzzy hair surrounding the coiled mass of blonde.

A quirky addition to Haider’s issue, one which features very little ‘fashion’ – and when it does, chooses to approach it very far left of centre.
