Patchwork Punk Cuts

The August Issue of Dazed is 80s-Inspired with 'I WAS A PUNK ROCK PRINCESS'

While many rockers rely on Kool Aid to dye their hair and a cut is usually a botched job done by a friend, punk-inspired hairdos have now reached the ultimate level of sophistication and technique, as evidenced by the editorial 'I WAS A PUNK ROCK PRINCESS.' The August issue of Dazed features this 80s punk-inspired hair editorial photographed by Fumi Nagasaka.

Cutting edge hairstylist Peter Gray has a reputation for his exceptional and unconventional cutting skills, as shown in the intricate patchwork looks he created for the shoot. Hair colorist Andreas Kurkowitz uses vibrant colors and contrasting darker shades to showcase the eye-popping cut. These dye jobs, with a spectrum of color, create a lighter take on the popularized shaved cuts of fictional punk character Lisbeth Salander.
