The young fashion designer from the Ivory Coast says her fascination with hairdressing inspired her to create what she calls, [hair art](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nova-arts-salon). Using hidden wires and fabrics, the artist is able to use her own hair as a [sculptural medium](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ladder-series), while its still attached to her scalp. The artist sculpts ballet dancers prancing a top her head, a hair-made hand which holds her phone as she takes a selfie and a blooming tree complete with leaves. Art such as Laetitia KY's can be attributed to the viral content that's popular online, which has created a unique space for artists to creatively push themselves while aiming to impress and entertain a digital audience. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.1/10 - Popularity: 94% | Activity: 81% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Gen Z - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Sculptural Hair Designs:** Opportunity to create bold, innovative hair designs as a form of self-expression. - **Hidden Wire and Fabric Techniques:** Opportunity to explore new techniques and materials to create unique sculptural art on hair. - **Viral Content Creation:** Opportunity to leverage the popularity of viral content to gain exposure and reach a digital audience. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Fashion Design:** Opportunity for fashion designers to incorporate sculptural hair designs into their collections. - **Hairdressing:** Opportunity for hairdressers to learn and offer hidden wire and fabric techniques for hair sculpting. - **Digital Art and Entertainment:** Opportunity for digital artists to create captivating content that resonates with online audiences. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Artistic African Culture Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/patewo-chair.md) - [Wearable Sculptural Jewelry](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/3dtcable-collection.md) - [Sculptural Knitted Objects](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sculptural-knitted-objects.md) - [Grass Root-Made Sculptural Wearables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rootfull.md) - [Sculptural Mixed-Media Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/folded-echoes.md) - [Human Embraced-Inspired Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wallmounted-sculpture.md) - [Human Torso-Inspired Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lene-bdker.md) - [Two-in-One Shampoo Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chalotte-2in1.md) - [Sculpted Rhythm Forms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-kinetic-collection.md)
