James Brown, hair stylist for Iris Van Herpen



On the hair:
"The look is goth meets Pre-Raphaelite, it’s a combination of both.  It’s a bit of a curl, a bit of a frizz, and the hair is just pinned according to the shape of the girls' face, and then just swept to the side.  It’s a creative mess, but a very beautiful mess".
On Iris Van Herpen:
"I don’t normally do young, new designers, but I saw her clothes and I thought, 'Wow, I want to do that show'.  I don’t need the practise after 20 years, but I was so excited after I saw the clothes I really wanted to do it".
