THE BAUHAUS FESTIVAL
-> BRAND MUSIC - VIDAL SASSOON
@Silk Street Music Hall, Guildhall School of Music & Drama

I focused on Vidal Sassoon’s geometric cutting styles and his experiments with the hair. I used the Five-point cut and the Veil cut to reflect the clear identity of Vidal Sassoon. I tried to recreate its innovative and unique approach to art into sounds. Rhythmic patterns and percussion express the cutting points of picture 1, and melodic synths show the rawness, experimental and innate vibe of ‘The Veil’.
Percussion fades out and synths become the main lead instrument to show that they are still developing and continuing their ideal in their brand identity. At this point, I was inspired by Vidal Sassoon’s AW23 ‘Citizen’ In the video, I filmed the points, lines and shapes in nature and our world, and created the relation between Vidal Sasson’s cutting styles.
In this piece, I wanted to not only point out their timeless and classic but also Vidal Sassoon’s adventure of applied art and art in life.
