Hair has long been a medium for feminist expression. From afros in the Black Power movement to artists like Lauryn Hill and contemporary hair sculptor Laetitia Ky, hairstyles have conveyed cultural, social, and political messages. Fankhauser’s work continues this tradition, infusing it with a cosmic, almost spiritual dimension.
By presenting hair as a manifesto of female empowerment, Basel Fashion Week highlighted how hairstyling can transcend beauty and become a powerful form of art and feminist expression.
