A new collection by Raúl de Andreas marks a reflective pause in his creative journey. Velvet is born from an intimate need: to stop, look back, and reconnect with the true essence of hairdressing. After years of experimentation, competition, and exploration of abstract forms, Raúl felt the call to return to the fundamentals. He says that in doing so, he discovered that beyond techniques or styles, his true purpose is to create beauty.
Velvet: Collection
The collection draws inspiration from real hairstyles—those that once came to life on salon clients, that walked the streets, and were lived and enjoyed in everyday life.
Velvet reinterprets these authentic looks, elevating them to an artistic realm while preserving their original naturalness and emotional power.
With this collection, Raúl de Andreas pays tribute to hairdressing as an artistic discipline, reclaiming its ability to move and transcend. Ultimately, Velvet stands as a declaration of love to the craft—an invitation to see hairdressing as an art form worthy of a place in museums.
