In 2012, Christophe Gaillet created a stunning new collection called ‘Creative Hair Couture’. The collection consists of amazing creations with the collaboration of Balmain Hair products.

The style he creates for women, exists in the underlines of a women’s natural beauty. In his vision, delicate shades in the hair are constantly moving and pulling out life from within every woman.

His favorites include works by Rodin and  Camille Claudel which gives him great inspiration. Finding strength in the manipulation of the senses, Gaillet has established himself as an Artist.
