Karol Radziszewski, “Antoine de Paris,” 2022

Description

“Antoine de Paris” project by Karol Radziszewski is devoted to Antoni Cierplikowski (1909-1976) who was hailed as “the king of hairdressers, the hairdresser of kings.” Aside from his spectacular commercial success enjoyed in the interwar period, Antoine, just like his friend Coco Chanel, made an enormous contribution to the revolution of mores taking place at the time. It was him who created the “á la garconee” hairstyle, and it was him whose eccentric behavior, masquerades and open homosexuality transgressed social norms.
