On the Street.....Hard Angles- Soft Edges, Paris
Usually the clothes provide the hard edges and the hair the soft edges. I love how Vika has turned that concept upside down

post a commentShe is different. Love it.
Great post! Vika's haircut is fierce! I particularly like the subtlety of the top shot, the soft wool and curves of her body contrasting with the sharp pleats of her skirt and the detail on her shoes. It even picks up in her make up with her eyes quite hard and hair soft. Inspirational.
A piece of Art, how delightful
Wow, love the look! Showing my ignorance here, but who is Vika?
your pics are nice too! may i know what cam, lens & settings are? did u done any photoshop after that? thanx for the enlightenment!
Nice. I'm not sure she's very elegant, but the outcome is nice
the most beautiful haircut i have ever seen :xxxxx
I love the hair cut. It's very original and i like that the front is longer than the back
wow, I love it too.
I'm not usually a fan of geometrical, achingly hip haircuts, but this woman really works it. I also like her contrast of hard versus soft which she does in an original way. There are so many floaty dresses paired with tough shoes going around; this is a refreshing twist.
I love everything about her, especially the hair!!!! It's perfect for her face!
Wow, yeah! Quite unnerving. Feminine? I think so!
I'd never have thought that anybody could pull off a hairstyle like that, but she has!
"...and that's what fashion is all about, Charlie Brown..."
My initial reaction to her in the first photo was "cute". My initial reaction to her in the second photo was "Ugh, why?" I'm not diggin' the haircut, guess I'm the buzz kill.
Very inspiring.
Love that long sweater --looks so comfortable
i love how she's wearing her outerwear in the second picture.
perfect!
Her haircut is great and so is she! Cheers to her! And you!
i have never seen such a fierce haircut with such elegance. remarkable.
she looks stunning.
original:)
Uh oh. I may be the odd person out but the hair is too severe for me. I do applaud her for trying something different.
oh, Vika is very well known person. and she always makes some things upside down!
Gorgeous!! You must be having an amazing time :)
she's really pretty
Simply amazing on her - she oozes confidence. A haircut can change your life. I bet this did for her.
Good look!
my older sister had that haircut in 1984.
looks cool again.
thumbs up!
I like all your observartions!
Thank you for sharing.
Merci Beaucoup!
Totally agree. She's bold and gorgeous. If I could get my hair to be anything but curly and voluminous, I'd love a harder/edgier cut...sigh.
vika gazinskaya is an incredible russian designer
Definetyly a break away from the norm of women's hair. Mskes a very bold statement that was needed in the world.
So interesting! Do you have a larger version of the second picture?
What a great haircut - very interesting and I love the angles. Love the clothes too.
Love it! Vika can carry a hair cut like this because she dresses the part. It's a total look from head to toe. I love short hair but it's high maintenance. You would have to get it cut every couple of weeks to keep it looking fresh.
there are more and more of these edgier short sharp crops popping up all over...makes a refreshing change from the layered hair tong look!
The first pic looks real comfortable.
No, Scott, you've got it all wrong.
It's equal! Her cloths and her hair...both hard edged!
Is it also shorter on the right side? I wish I could see a 360º view. I love it.
I love her. Her style is unique. She killed it in the first picture. Such sophistication. I am in awe.lol
I think this haircut is innovative. I know it had its moment in the 80's, too, but the fringe is perfect with a great angle and the proportion of fringe to higher shape in the back is really, really good. On the technical side of things, there is a little blendy part right over the ear that needs to be part of that straight line in the back. way cool and refreshing to see someone pull off this look who is young and beautiful. It's hair model at a hair show hair.
With directional haircuts I think the only way to go with your clothes is a softer look.....or a well tailored trouser suit....maybe
she used to say taht she can't leave her home without being late and perfect hairdo
What a bold cut!
What does Vika do?
i LOVE her hair. stunning.
Yes, way to go Vika! You are such a genius.
estou apaixonada!!!!
Love ya Sart!
That haircut is too 'Joan of Arc'. Burning logs anywhere?
so fresh and beautiful and clean!
true, and her hair was such a suprise when she turned her head
hey i love ur blog.. n that haircut.. look awesome! xD
i was here.. xoxoxo
she's edgy! i love it! rebel ;)
couldn't agree more with the caption
Her hair is an inventive geometry design. Very interesting, but not too bold.
I love the effect of shot # 1!
The softness of her skirt blends beautifuly with her top, and the Hair is just perfect for this style!
Bold dark eyes to go with the soft texture of her attire.
Stunning.
She is Vika Gazinskaya, russian designer. always very inspirational in her designs and in her way of dressing.
Wow ! O__0
j'adore sa coupe de cheveux !!
Si je la croise à Paris je lui saute dessus...(commentaire bien inutile, gomen)
soo beautiful.
Even her name has a hard edge...
I wish I could see the coat in the bottom picture better. It looks lovely!
The first pic is exactly the reason to click on every pic to enlarge it. Only when I did, did I see all the great textures she put together from the light of that great skirt to the batwings of that incredible sweater. And the drops!
Ok, I'm gushing.
LUV the flats! A girl can never have too many pairs.
oh my god, that haircut!
Vika Gazinskaya rules! Like her edgy style.
That first look is so comfy chic.
Love it!
i loved her haircut
I've loved her ever since I saw her in The Facehunters brilliant show (Yvan's show on MySpace TV).

A+++ hair
I went to a Vidal Sassoon cutter who gave me something quite similar. It looked great, but you can only really pull it off if you have an expensive modernist wardrobe. Unfortunately that is not me.
she is spectacular; a work of art.
so minimalist and original.
makes me think of a modern day Dominique Francon (The Fountainhead, by Ayn Rand). not necessarily the way she is in the movie, but definitely in the novel.
Vika style is innate. This is a woman who knows herself style wise,she has arrived. The shots as ever are amazing.
great perspective.

really nice haircut!
I adore this look -- what a modern day Sally Bowles might look like after rehab. The hair is magnetic and the soft and slouchy clothes lend an air of humanity and warmth to what could be a cold geometry lesson. Well played.
Be funny if it went curly when it rained and I bet it's a bastard to grow out but cute and original all the same.x
she's a genius! like her style so much!she makes nice clothes but she became a trend herself.
This is fantastic - she reminds me of a friend of my parents in the early to mid 80's who was devoted to Matsuda and so many soft shouldered, drapey garments, but always had incredibly razor sharp hair. I think she even had it cut once a week.
That top photo has had me pondering for days : what magic made her pick those three items in her wardrobe (grey jumper + pleated, white skirt + shoes), all so dull when taken apart from one another, and all so brilliant, witty, stylish and I should even say obvious when brought together ?... I guess "an inner sense of style" is the answer, and this photo is yet another reminder that it's not those who try the hardest who achieve it. I happen to like that a lot.
In photo about she remember me a Françoise Sagan's "ninphette
cute shoes!
I love this look
Like her bob
