Classic locks pictures can be seen in interval films, on some sites, or in a few guides. Femme Fatale: Well-known Ladies Then and Now (2001) is a huge picture publication by superstar hair stylist Serge Normant. It is complete of contemporary superstars dressed in vintage locks. The protect taken is Julia Roberts with a Twenties bob locks do.

There is one section for each several decades from 1900 to 2000. At the starting of each section, there are 10 to 20 pictures of non-celebrities with different interval locks. These are household images published to the writer. Then the several decades is presented with 1 web page of textual content without any pictures. It summarizes the activities of that interval and describes how they affected womens locks design. The relax of the section reveals only superstar pictures and has no textual content.

The company of the publication is easy in date purchase, but there is no desk of material which can help you identify a several decades or superstar. The webpages aren't designated except on the textual content web page which presents the section. At the returning of the publication there are four webpages of pictures like on a website; they have the brands of the superstars below them, but without the season corresponding to the locks do.

Femme Fatale was designed by the cooperation of three experts: Serge Normant, a top People from france hairdresser; Eileen Thompson, a famous design photographer; and Bridget Foley, a womens design journal writer.

The styles for the publication were done on top styles and stars. For example, you see the locks do conversions of the best 90's supermodels: Cindy Crawford; Christy Turlington; Claudia Schiffer; Kate Moss; and Carmen Kass. The foreword was published by English celebrity Age Hurley and there are some pictures of her in the publication. Because the concentrate is on top styles and superstars, there are few older females. The exclusions are: Leslie Sarandon; Ellen Barkin; and Linda Locklear. There are only a few dark-colored women: Alex Wek; Ananda Lewis; and Naomi Campbell.

The unforgettable styles are the ones on wonderful females which were significant conversions from how we normally see them these days, or those which are just definitely gorgeous:

1) Cindy Crawford has her locks up in a big traditional 1910s updo.

2) Ellen Barkin is innovative like Sixties alarm Bridget Bardot. There are two Bardot styles; for one her locks is up and for the other it is down.

3) Cate Blanchett seems to be absolutely different with a very brief pixie locks do from the 90's which is almost a team cut. Normant provides both the top part and part opinions of it.

Unfortunately there are not enough pictures for popular decades. For example, there are only four different superstar locks for the Thirties and another four for the 40s. For decades 40s locks have been the favourite vintage locks.

Even so, the few we see are amazing. There is Ellen Barkin as Jean Harlow with jewelry golden-haired surf, and Julianne Moore with extravagant lengthy red locks after a Rita Hayworth remodeling. Olga Pantushenkova has a Thirties chignon that would be ideal for a contemporary wedding; the top part is elegant and the returning is magnificent.

Femme Fatale is a publication of motivation but not instructions. It is very hefty with pictures but rather lighting on textual content. The three professionals did well, but it would have been much more useful if they had used a 4th professional who offered step-by-step guidelines on how to reproduce the vintage locks. It was unexpected that Normant himself did not offer the information because he designed the looks!

The subtitle "Famous Ladies Then and Now" could be misunderstood to mean that the publication contains images of Celebrities taken decades ago and lately. But there aren't any such old pictures; it only has contemporary superstars created up to look like old superstars and old images of females who aren't famous.

It is a fun publication for females who like to decorate their locks in high design or just desire a little. Unless you have plenty of some time to expertise to reproduce the locks styles by Serge Normant without guidelines, i.e., wondering and examining, you will want to use this publication to demonstrate your hair stylist what you want. To get a do-it-yourself information on vintage locks with step-by-step guidelines, your best bet is: Classic Hairstyling: Retro Styles with Step-by-Step Methods by Lauren Rennells.
