FOUNDATION HISTORY
GUILLAUME GUGLIELMI (1903 – 1989)
Intercoiffure Mondial established the Foundation Guillaume in 1982 to honour Guillaume Guglielmi, one of the greatest creators of hairstyles of the 20th century and an early proponent of developing and supporting young talent in the hairdressing industry.
Guillaume’s burgeoning talent was recognised in 1932, when he was engaged by Elizabeth Arden to open salons in the United States for the company. In 1936, Guillaume opened his own salon at 5 Avenue Matignon, which quickly became the meeting point for the most beautiful and famous women in Paris.
The cuts and hairstyles of Guillaume transcended into art themselves, as his creations reflected the very spirit of fashion. He created the “Page” cut in 1936, he developed the hairstyles for Christian Dior’s “New Look” in 1947, CLICK HERE FOR MORE INFORMATION
