Styling Hair Installations With Charlie Le Mindu | SHOWstudio
In 2023 Charlie Le Mindu shared his love of hair with the whole of Paris by crafting a large-scale installation covering La Samaritaine’s iconic staircase. Dubbed ‘Tricophilia’, the department store was transformed over the course of months with hundreds of wigs used to create a breathtaking, immersive art piece that blurred the lines between fashion, art, and architecture. Here, Le Mindu describes how he brought the thought-provoking experience to life, hair’s capabilities as an artistic medium, and where he sources material for his iconic wigs.
