Each chapter of HAIRITAGE tells of an excellent legacy, to be explored and passed on to new generations. Fifty curious and fascinating case histories testify to the cultural heritage created by hairdressing over the centuries. From Matilda Harper, inventor of franchising, to Marcel Grateau, who patented the first tools of the trade. Then comes the story of Antoine, intertwined with that of Coco Chanel and that of Alexandre de Paris, coiffeur to Grace Kelly and French Haute Couture. In Swinging London, we find Vidal Sassoon, the architect of hair, and Leslie Cavendish, the Beatles’ hairdresser; and Sam McKnight, who became famous for Lady Di’s haircut. In Barcelona, ​​Llongueras left his mark as a 360-degree artist and friend and biographer of Dalí. And again: Aldo Coppola, the ‘master of color’, the Carita sisters, pioneers of ‘total beauty’, the Mascolo brothers and Trevor Sorbie, alongside whom many contemporary hairstylists trained.

Roberto Pissimiglia, publisher and journalist, has been a leading figure in the world of hairdressing and specialized press for fifty years. An expert in fashion, lifestyle, art, and current affairs, he has met all the great figures who have shaped the history of hairdressing.
Born into a family of hairdressers, he inherited his parents’ passion for publishing and the first periodical dedicated to beauty and hair: Estetica, which Roberto Pissimiglia spread worldwide, creating a network of 18 print and online editions. Roberto Pissimiglia is a successful entrepreneur, speaker, photography exhibition curator, and communications professional, with a large following among industry professionals in Italy and around the world.

]]> Valentina Bianchi NINA’S DRAG QUEEN SCHOOL https://prinp.com/en/prodotto/valentina-bianchi-ninas-drag-queen-school-en/ Thu, 24 Nov 2011 13:25:06 +0000 https://prinp.com/?post_type=product&p=4953 “One is all the more authentic the more it resembles the idea she dreamed of herself.”
Agrado (Antonia San Juan) in All About My Mother by Pedro Almodóvar.

“I started photographing the Nina’s Drag Queen in November 2009 and I can’t stop anymore” recalls Valentina Bianchi, “the moment of preparation before the Show is incredible, difficult to explain in words. Difficult, and perhaps useless, to explain in words the metamorphosis that leads to the creation of a drag queen, a transformation that is first of all visual ”. This is why Bianchi immersed herself in the life of the school, focusing precisely on the intermediate stages of this transformation: make-up, dressing, rehearsals. However, the construction work of the drag queen character is not only aesthetic: the aim is in fact to find a new identity that does not deny the starting one, but rather becomes its most honest and faithful affirmation, as in the famous phrase of Almodóvar . The adepts seem to know well that the character they will have to play is actually already present, and any other trick or disguise will only be a means to make it visible; for this reason they are not afraid to show themselves in the preparation phase, they offer themselves proudly to the gaze of the camera.

For a while workshops and machineries got their own aesthetic. A sort of moral beauty associated to work ethic. A rough and symbolic aesthetic. After that workshops seemed to disappear and spotless, automatic and far production lines seemed to take the place. Machineries and tools fade away from representations and become images related to the past or to not yet developed countries. Reality is different. The most part of what we use daily is realized by hand work, using machines that needs grease and perspiration to operate. At macroeconomic level it is well known that true wealth is production competence.
