Floral Hair Dresser TAKAYA performed at the opening of a photographic exhibition of his works at Le Bain Gallery in Tokyo last night. The ‘MEN’ exhibition (which we introduced here) focuses on the work Takaya has produced with male models, cutting and styling flowers to combine hair and floral displays as a unique art form. The aroma of flowers hung heave in the air as Takaya demonstrated his art form for the crowd of attendees last night, taking flowers from a bunch being held by a model, the resulting style was somewhat Frida Kahlo-esque. Takaya’s MEN exhibition runs through until June 29th.
