Interview with Javier Ventoso about Essens.IA.Ls

How did you feel when introducing yourself to the world of artificial intelligence applied to hairdressing? I felt like an explorer in a new territory At first, I experienced a mix of curiosity and respect, because it was a tool I didn’t master. Over time, I discovered that artificial intelligence doesn’t seek to replace us but to become a creative companion. For me, it has been like opening a window and letting more light into my process.

What has been the most challenging part of this creative process with AI?

The hardest part was maintaining the balance between the technological and the human. I wanted the images to be innovative without losing the warmth and naturalness that have always characterized my vision of hairdres-sing. The real challenge was achieving that artificial intelligence adapted to my ideas, and not the other way around.

What message do you want to convey with Essens.IA.Ls?

I want to remind people that what is essential always remains: beauty lies in diversity, authenticity, and personal confidence. Artificial intelligence provides new tools, but the soul of the work is still human. Essens.IA.Ls is, for me, an invitation to look forward without forgetting our roots.

Artistic Director: Javier Ventoso @javier_ventoso - Image Production: David Arnal @davidarnalteam

From an early age, Javier showed a great interest in the world of hairdr influenced by his family and the creative environment of his hometown.

ESSENS.IA.LS

by Javier Ventoso

The first hairdressing collection created by Javier Ventoso with artificial intelligence is called Essens.IA.Ls. It is a project that combines creativity, diversity, and technology with a clear objective: to showcase the essentials of hairdressing from a contemporary, inclusive, and label-free perspective.

The collection is composed of eight images: four masculine and four feminine, conceived to work as a joint proposal or as independent pieces with their own identity. From the very beginning, Ventoso sought for each look to reflect the plurality of today’s world: different ethnicities, skin tones, and hair textures. Diversity is not an accessory detail, but rather the central axis running through the entire

The inspiration came from observing current trends in hairdressing and urban fashion, blending them with timeless finishes that convey elegance and naturalness. The cuts and hairstyles are designed for everyday wear, yet carry a forward-looking, avant-garde touch. Colors, volumes, and shine combine to offer a realistic, commercial, and at the same time innovative proposal.

As for the styling, Ventoso chose a minimalist path. White was the predominant color in the clothing, precisely to highlight the models’ skin and hair The neutrality of the garments allows the hairstyles to become the true protagonists, while white conveys cleanliness, purity, and freshness—values the creator wanted to associate with this first foray into artificial intelligence.

The name Essens.IA.Ls summarizes the philosophy of the project. It is born from a hybrid between “Essentials” and the acronym “IA” (inteligencia artificial / artificial intelligence). The result is a unisex, neutral, and contemporary concept that reflects the essence of a collection embracing both masculine and feminine with equal importance. Essens.IA.Ls also symbolizes how technology can integrate into the art of hairdressing without displacing the human element but rather enhancing its possibilities.

With this proposal, Javier Ventoso conveys a clear message: the essential never changes. Hairdressing remains an art tied to the authenticity of people, and although tools evolve, the essence remains in the hands of the creator. Artificial intelligence, in this case, does not replace but amplifies the capacity to imagine and experiment.

Venus Festival '25

The Venus Festival ’25 in Berlin from September 25th to 28th was an electrifying celebration of sensuality and creativity. It was more like an extravaganza of self-expression than a convention. Everywhere you looked, people were radiant, boldly creative, and utterly themselves. Their energy was contagious. From the moment I stepped into the Berlin Messe, the energy was palpable. Music, lights, and exhibits were instantly inviting. There was playfulness everywhere. The event's sense of inclusivity was a notable standout. Visitors and exhibitors alike explored sexuality sans judgment.

Performances were stellar by Vikings of Valhalla • @vikinglust_com • Pussy Kat • @therealpk90 • Dellai Twins • Eveline Dellai • @evelinedellai • Silvia Dellai • @silviadellai_999. You felt like a participant, not just a spectator Meet-and-greets with famous content creators were authentic and personable. They were genuinely happy to share a selfie, offering connections that went beyond the grand revelry.

Stands brimmed with creativity Exhibitors from over 40 countries showcased everything from classy lingerie to futuristic sex toys. Whether you’re curious or deep in the scene, innovation was everywhere. The organization was impressive. Kudos to the Venus staff! Queues were unavoidable at peak times, especially for popular shows, but the sheer spectacle made it worthwhile.

All four days were provocative and thrilling. The atmosphere was remarkably open and friendly. What struck me most was how safe it felt. It was all about being genuine, expressing love, and exploring without repression. Venus isn’t just an event; it’s a statement: Authenticity belongs to everyone. This was Berlin at its boldest and most beautiful, reaffirming its place as the world’s capital of fearless sexuality.

Venus doesn’t just sell boldness; it connects. For anyone curious about eroticism or just interested in celebrating their freedom of expression, this festival is a must.

Chromatic Threads

by Sonia Jiménez Cambronero

The Chromatic Threads collection, created by stylist Sonia Jiménez Cambronero, is a statement of intent that places hair in a new creative territory: the fusion of textile art, contemporary fashion, and chromatic architecture. In this work, hair is conceived as a living loom, where color interlaces to form a powerful, vibrant, and ever-moving graphic language.

The horizontal and diagonal stripes running through the hair evoke artisanal fabrics and geometric patterns, while also recalling digital aesthetics. The result is a work that bridges tradition and avant-garde, showing how hairstyling can engage in dialogue with disciplines as diverse as fashion, graphic design, and visual arts.

The chosen chromatic palette reinforces this narrative: intense reds, warm oranges, and golden gleams interweave with the depth of black, creating a contrast full of strength. Greenish highlights appear as an unexpected note, a subtle nod both to nature and to technological modernity, bringing a fresh and surprising nuance. Sonia Jiménez Cambronero’s proposal stands out not only for its bold use of color, but also for the technical precision it demands. Each stripe, each transition, each gradient has been crafted with meticulous care, turning hair into architecture. The result is not only aesthetic but also conceptual: it seeks to demonstrate that hair is not passive matter, but a living canvas capable of transmitting messages and emotions.

“Color is identity, and hair is a canvas in constant transformation,” the stylist affirms. Under this premise, Chromatic Threads highlights the importance of advanced coloring as a tool for building unique styles and expressing the personality of the wearer With this proposal, Sonia Jiménez Cambronero reaffirms her place as a benchmark in the field of creative hairstyling, opening new possibilities for understanding hair as contemporary art.

K.E.M.E

by Joel Ibáñez Maturana

This collection is born from the feminine pulse that lives within every woman who is unafraid to show herself as she truly is. Joel Ibáñez Maturana created “K.E.M.E.” as a tribute to the women who have shaped his life —those who taught him that true beauty lies not in following rules, but in breaking them with elegance and conviction.

“Each of them taught me a different form of strength. Karina, with her unbreakable spirit; Emma, with her luminous serenity; Michelle, with her overwhelming energy; and Elisabeth, with her freshness and freedom. They are my roots, my mirror, my inspiration.” — Joel Ibáñez Maturana

The shapes, volumes, and textures of this collection translate that feminine essence that flows between tenderness and determination. Cuts that defy the predictable, colors that evoke power and confidence. A proposal designed for the modern executive woman—one who leads with authenticity, who needs no permission to shine, who looks in the mirror and recognizes in her reflection her entire story

“K.E.M.E.” is more than a collection: it is a tribute to the invisible force that unites the women of a family, of a generation, of a world that changes when they choose to be themselves.

“This is my most honest work!”

This is how Manfred Baumann describes his latest photo book!

In this work, Baumann devotes himself to his great passion: street photography. He captures the small, fleeting moments of urban life – gestures, glances, silent dramas, accidental humor, and the quiet beauty of the streets. Moments that would be lost forever without his trained eye and intuitive sense of the right instant.

A truly great photograph has a soul – something an AI can never create.” – Manfred Baumann

Born in 1968 in Vienna, Baumann has photographed legends such as Sir Roger Moore, Tony Curtis, Olivia Newton-John, and Kirk Douglas. As a Leica Ambassador, National Geographic photographer, and Honorary Ambassador of the Jane Goodall Foundation, his works have been exhibited in galleries and museums from Sydney to Washington, from Vienna to Los Angeles.

The table book contains 250 photographs spanning over a quarter-century of Baumann’s work – from Australia to Los Angeles, New York, Thailand, and nearly all the major cities in Europe.

MOMENTS is a tribute to urban life – raw, authentic, and full of stories. A book for anyone who wants to feel the pulse of the streets before the moment passes.

The photo book was recently presented for the first time in Vienna – attracting high-profile guests and extensive media attention.

Present the new French Hair Collection

NAMI

WITH . ELP HAIR PRODUCTION

The NAMI collection "vague" in Japanese evokes the movement, fluidity and freedom of hair

NAMI is inspired by contemporary Asia, where tradition and modernity blend, from the elegance of Japanese rituals to the boldness of Korean trends.

A breath coming from the Far East, between conscious beauty and limitless creativity.

In cut part two modular universes: A structured short square, bursting with light thanks to Blondorplex toner. A short pixie with bangs, assertive and vibrant, intensified by Color Touch (vegan certified) for a deep and bright brown.

Refined and sensual ties sublimated by Shinefinity for a blond with silky reflections, like an echo of the delicacy of flowers and the grace of Asian ceremonies.

NAMI is an invitation to movement, to metamorphosis, to the freedom to dare. Like a wave between Asia and the West, tradition and modernity.
