The World

What’s the secret to great hair? Architecture. Vidal Sassoon helped define the mod look during London’s swinging sixties. The world-famous hairdresser says that more than anything else, the Bauhaus style inspired his geometric cuts. A documentary about his life called “Vidal Sassoon the Movie” premieres at the Tribeca Film Festival next month. Produced by Studio 360’s Sarah Lilley.
