The Rays spent tireless hours styling hair for all of the models for an incredible segment that Oribe designed. His vision was inspired by statues in an abandon train station in Prague, the French song “Gigi Amarousa”, and a painting by Oribe himself. The Rays got to immerse themselves in the true artistry of editorial hair design. The event was a huge success and was attended by Sarah Jessica Parker, who presented “The Visionaire Award” to Oribe. The Rays we also officially inducted (“pinned”) into the prestigious Intercoiffure.
