“It was important for the
blonde to be very rich in texture
and color. The flower was

world, and consists of the
different shades of blonde used
on the model’s hair.”


To recreate this rich, graduated blonde look for yourself, show it to your hairdresser who can find the perfect match

“For the medium base we created an abstract woven hat. So this look is also sexy, but a bit more native – more rough.”

“Sharing the story of Somptueux
and discovering how it is interpreted
