Ara Gallant (by David Wills)

Ara Gallant was the most talented hairdresser in the world. No one has ever come close to the originality. Gallant worked with many of the great fashion photographers, Richard Avedon, Irving Penn and Bert Stern, among them. His most notable contribution was the introduction "flying hair" a visual gimmick he first used on an Avedon shot with Twiggy in 1966.
