Odiles is a very well known french hair stylist who's name pops up often when discussing cat walk shows and editorial campaigns.
Her career begun in the 70s, after graduating from Hair School in Brittany France she moved to Paris were she assisted the famous hair stylist Bruno Pittini. This allowed her to gain experience working alongside celebrities in fashion shows and photo shoots.
In the 80's Odile moved from Paris to New York were she started working on fashion and beauty editorials. Since then Odile Gilbert has been an extremely prominent hair stylist styling for very big campaigns for the likes of Lancome, Balenciaga, H&M, Karl Largafield and many more. She has also styled for a huge number of magazine covers such as Vogue, as well as leading the hair creations behind cat walk shows from Tom Ford, Zac Posen, Suno, Thakoon among many others. Her celebrity clients include Cate Blanchette, Penelope Cruz, Kiera Knightly and Kristien Stewart just to name a few.
'Odile is really well known for creating naturally tousled looks, although she's regularly called upon to create more Avant Gard stylised looks'1
Im a big fan of Odiles work because she seems to have an explanation behind every style she creates. When reviewing some of her looks she always had a story behind them all. This really helps in sharing her vision so that we look at the hair and understand it. For me this also draws more emotion too. For example with the Zac Posen SS15 she created a look that represents a strong and independent women she described the wet look as a women exiting a swimming pool. I think that using this analogy of a women exiting a pool really does represent strength but this is not something you would associate it with, in this way Odiles creativity really pays off.
I think Odile as a designer is very diverse. In some cases its more of an Art form then a hair style. For me one of her most defining moments was when she created a hat out of human hair for Jean Paul Gartier. I think this really portrays her artistic and creative vision through her work. This is very inspiring seeing a stylist embrace such an un conventional way of hair styling.
