Long May it Wave

LONG MAY IT WAVE:

WORLD’S FAIR, N.Y., OCT. -10-1940: Dedicated to the undying memory of Christopher Columbus, this fetching coiffeur with a model of the Great Discoverer’s flagship was created yesterday by Madame Marguerite Peerboem, of Palmors and Son, Limited, Montreal, and exhibited on the head of Judith Wister, before delegates to the International Master Ladies Hairdressers’ Association convention, meeting this week in the New York World’s Fair Assembly Hall.

This ensemble of wavy locks and sailing frigate might just as well be called the “Britannia Rules the Waves” coiffeur, but the Association decided to rename it in honor of Christopher Columbus and Columbus Day which falls on October 12, Saturday. – 21489

Chained Accumulus Necklace

Artist Sergey Jivetin works in multiple arenas, jewelry being one of them. Chained Accumulus Necklace, a delicately rendered cloud form, is a piece composed of hair and jewelry chain from his "Accumulus" series. Jivetin's diverse body of work is created from unconventional materials and explores themes of the body, science, and time.

"I strive to create representations of paradoxical concepts like the sometimes sterile, cold interactions between humans in office environments," he explains to one blogger. "By choosing jewelry's small scale and proximity to the body, I want the wearer to experience a concept in tangible, three-dimensional forms"1
"I am interested in opening new ways of obtaining levels of interaction between beauty, physicality, and knowledge."2

Drawing from studies in engineering, fashion jewelry, illustration, and product design, this SUNY New Paltz and New Parsons School of Design graduate has created innovative items fashioned from watch hands, human hair, fishing hooks, egg shells, wish bones, jewelry saw blades, hypodermic tubing, and syringe needles.
