Barbers don't dye their hair, but print patterns on it.

Alexis Ferrer, a Spanish stylist and contemporary hairdresser, is famous for creating extraordinary hairstyles in his career for more than 20 years, but he has changed the fashion trend with unprecedented innovative photography. After several years of research and development, people can finally reproduce complex and accurate color patterns and tell the story of hair with graphics without dyeing hair or using templates.

Ferrer showed his skills in his latest famous series La Favorite, combining his passion for technology, art and nature with exquisite and romantic hairstyles. This series is inspired by the beautiful natural pattern of "18th century French bourgeoisie's best fabric".

Alexis Ferrer was the first barber to try to print on his hair. He spent a lot of time and experiments to develop this technology.

"In 20 12, I started to print photos on my hair because I wanted to represent my dreams in my hair. I think it will be the future trend to decorate hair with photos. Because I like to combine traditional art with technology. "

Ferrer first came up with the idea of printing on hair in 20 12, when Willa professionals invited him to show their series Echo at the International Fashion Vision Award. Because this series aims to show the deepest and darkest part of people's inner world, Ferrer decided to vividly reflect this in the model's hair. Inspired by the classic horror movie sharping and Psycho, he tried to print the image of the protagonist on the hair of the model's face.

During 20 17 Barcelona Fashion Week, Ferrer cooperated with designer Txell Miras to print the black and white portrait of the fisherman on the wig.

From 20 12, he began to try to use hair as a canvas for printing, and in 2020, he launched the gorgeous and baroque La favorite series.

After improving the printing quality and color intensity, Ferrer turned from photographic ink prints to digital prints, and launched an amazing new series La Favorite in July 2020, showing his achievements.

La Favorite series is made on hair by digital printing technology. I started using this technology from 20 12, and I have been developing this technology since then until I got a better resolution and a more colorful palette. Our idea is to show patterns on hair, just as we do on fabrics. When I was a child, I wanted to be a biologist. I like everything related to nature. "

"Inspired by French art history. Walking in the gardens of palaces was a common activity in France in the18th century. In the18th century, flowers and animals really inspired designers and created the best fabrics for the French bourgeoisie. These prints not only highlight the extraordinary costumes of the past, but also are used to cover the walls and tapestries of the villa. " The artist from Barcelona likes to combine traditional art and technology, and his inspiration always comes from nature.
