A special thank you to Helen Oppenheim, US Correspondent for Peluquerias Magazine, archivist, blogger, and hair guru, for asking me to collaborate during Fashion Week.
Please note, my Fall/Winter 2020 NYFW series was photographed in February 2020. Until the magazine decided what images they were utilizing I was not permitted to publish them. And because of the pandemic it took longer than usual.
