We saw them side by side on the red carpet of the recently concluded Rome Film Fest in all their wonderful fluidity. Sangiovanni and Madame they are among the most prominent Italian singers of the moment in our musical panorama, proud members of Gen Z and bearers of important messages that start, in their case, right above the tip of the head. Both from Vicenza, both with the same hairstyle, that bob moved to touch the shoulders that is very reminiscent of the iconic one of Ambra Angiolini of the times of It is not Rai and that now relives the golden times also for revival beauty of the 90s.

For him, for her, a lot for her. At least until recently when beauty proposed homologated beauty standards, showing only one side of the coin and an often stereotyped vision.

It is presented in a new version: its triangularity is interrupted by small scaling angles on the perimeter areas, it is often accompanied by a triangular fringe with strong references of French taste. It is no coincidence that today not only singers such as Sangiovanni, Madame and, even more so, Greta Ferro and all the muses of Saint Laurent reinterpret it in a certainly much more contemporary version that requires less crisp and defined waves to leave room for a hair that is moves with extreme freedom. A hairstyle freer from patterns and geometric structures “, explains Vincenzo Panico, Sebastian Professional Artistic Director.

In the last period, this beauty trend has made its way more and more clearing the use of makeup, from foundation to lipstick, even among men, and presenting an ever greater variety of tints and colors.
