Balding is taboo. Two thirds of men will have experienced it by the time they’re 35. Yet often, it’s accompanied with complicated feelings of shame. Men try to restore, hide or simply refuse to accept this inevitable and natural process of aging.
With Baldpieces, we’re envisaging an alternate reality. One where men embrace the patterns balding creates with magnificent headpieces.
We collaborated with 8 renowned designers from around the globe. Each used different materials and processes to bring the concepts to life.
Rankin, known for his portraits of the Queen, David Bowie and Heidi Klum - among others - then shot the project for us.
Featured as an editorial in issue #21 of Hunger Magazine, we were also interviewed by The Guardian, took out art Image of the Week and racked up 40k likes on Instagram here.
Baldpieces: crowns to adorn balding crowns.
