Glass by Benjamin Martin

Glass by Benjamin Martin – Digital Cover

The Hair Magazine proudly presents the digital cover of Glass by Benjamin Martin, a collection inspired by the transformative properties of glass. Light, transparency, and texture merge to create optical illusions through six extraordinary hair creations.

Martin explores glass-like effects by manipulating texture, shine, and form. His inspiration comes from contemporary art, sculpture, and his award-winning Fabric collection. The idea developed after his victory as AHFA Victorian Hairdresser of the Year 2023.

Innovative techniques shape this collection. Shattered textures, blown-glass effects, and swirling colors mimic the beauty of glass in hair artistry. Martin experiments with embedding hair into glass-like sheets, then breaking them for fractured effects.

A ponytail, appearing sculpted from blown glass, reflects his mastery of shine and form. Swirled colors resemble “Cat’s Eye” marbles, maintaining structure and transparency. Glass beads create raindrop illusions, while a floating headpiece evokes a glass orb.

The collection merges hair, art, and sculpture into an immersive experience. Each creation challenges perception, showcasing Martin’s ability to push artistic boundaries. This digital cover celebrates his groundbreaking work in The Hair Magazine at thehairmag.com.
