Events in the Industry, Benefits and Awards

Chrystoph Marten's Underground Hair Show
Chrystoph Marten's fourth-annual underground hair show, Das Ideale Weib, featured hairstyles inspired by Berlin in the 1920s. Marten's elegant and sophisticated styles reflected the rich underground culture of that decade but were modern enough for today's tastes. Accompanying the styles were live musical performances—fusions of electronic music and traditional songs—that echoed the show's avant-garde vibe.

Marten first developed the idea to host underground hair shows while working at the Arrojo Studio in 2004. His previous shows, Dunkelheit, Funkstörung and Arlequins received rave reviews. This year's event was held at Marten's eponymous salon in Manhattan and was attended by magazine editors, hairstylists and clients. —A.P.
