A history of hair, and a study of its association with art and fashion. It discusses how fashion and events have influenced hair styles (especially those of women) around the world. The author looks at international fashion, and explores the similar and contrasting trends that have developed in different countries. There are illustrations with succinct captions and running text. The book should appeal to any woman seeking inspiration for her own hair, to the male voyeur, the social or art historian, the hairdresser, or indeed, anyone with a fascination for this aspect of human fashion and fantasy.
Robin Bryer has lectured regularly on Swan Hellenic Cruises. Designer and planner by profession, he lives with his wife on a farm in Dorset and collects paintings. His last non-fiction book, 'Jloie Brise - A Tall Ship's Tale' recently entered its second edition, acclaimed by thriller writers Clare Francis and the late Hammond Innes for its infectious enthusiasm and lucidity. His life-long fasconation with hair, art and fashion provides a compelling combination, giving rise to a book which promises to be both fascinating and unique.
