Always unpredictable and never short on creativity, Damien Carney is “bad boy supreme” on how to break rules with hair. In his latest collection, “Framework,” his vexing display of artistry depicts how hair design can be a mind-bending experience.

Carney explains, “With this collection, I was inspired to completely let go of my imagination and sculpt extreme shapes. Depicting hair like fabrics, I created organic textures that reflect smooth yet jagged edges, asymmetrical symmetry and rounded corners. It was my interpretation of how to use creative freedom to turn hair into an architectural framework with no boundaries.” 

The beauty of Damien Carney is that he can take hair on a creative journey down the road of classic Hollywood style, runway session work or mainstream commercial functionality. He can also shoot you into outer space with surreal, futuristic interpretations of hair as art. As a teacher, he is applauded for his ability to train and inspire stylists to think beyond the conventional “framework” of hair design. His recent shoot spotlights just how framework in design is anything but containment.
