~Moodboards~ giving you an insider-look at the online/offline cultural inspirations, saves and likes of our favourite agency collaborators, community & friends.
This week we spoke with Bjorn Krischker (@bjornkrischker) a London-based hairstylist, colourist, and groomer. He combines his love of art, music, street-culture, and architecture to create ultra modern and timeless looks for his editorial, commercial, and celebrity clientele.
Bjorn also lends his creative vision to art directing photoshoots and films. Drawing inspiration from the ever evolving beauty industry Bjorn makes his product knowledge centre stage and loves passing on his own experiences and expertise.
So Bjorn, talk us through your Moodboard…
Architecture & Bauhaus
Shapes and textures in architecture and interior design are inspiring me and help create new visions for hair looks.
Especially Bauhaus period and style have always shaped my concept of beauty – hard lines of brutalism or softly shaped curves and edges.
Also the future visions of the 70s have a strong impact on me.
Japan
I can’t stop thinking about Japan after a recent trip to this fascinating country – the relationship between people and nature has me in a tight grip. The cultural past and fashion history is still very visible in their present and influences all generations in their own way.
Learned so much, saw so much, felt so much!
Theatre & Movement
Movement and expression through dance are deeply rooted in my own expression of beauty when I create editorial hair or help bring visions to life for fashion stories.
I see movement in hair like a dancer moves their body to a beat – it can have many faces and is influenced by everyone involved.
Every move of the body has impact on the shape of hair, so the outline is ever changing and evolving.
Frank Lloyd Wright
American architect and designer Frank Lloyd Wright has been on my mind a lot recently – especially the “Fallingwater House” in Pennsylvania, USA, from 1935.
I’m obsessed by the combination of architecture and nature in this project where the house was built on top of an active waterfall.
You can see Frank Lloyd Right’s love for Japanese architecture and it is a masterpiece of concrete, stone and glass surrounded by nature.
Timeless.
Cultural Identity
Through my work with multi nationalities and sharing and exchanging cultural knowledge with friends and colleagues I find inspiration in people’s identities and love learning from their different heritages.
Cultural Identity is an unfixed process that is continually evolving especially depending on your location, surroundings and personal experiences and choices.
For me personally I see all this reflected in art, photography and fashion – I see it in colours that attract each other, work well together or are polar opposites yet need each other.
