Last night in Venice Beach, Dior’s creative director Kim Jones and guest designer Eli Russell Linnetz joined forces on the French fashion house’s Resort 2023 capsule collection. Drawing from their surroundings (Venice is largely considered the cradle of skateboarding history), the pair put forth embellished hoodies, baggy skater shorts, and chunky sneakers with cooly crafted SoCal-inspired hairstyles to match.

There were the spiky, “surf punk” crops supplied by hairstylist Guido Palau, who sculpted blades of hair with blasts of Got2b Glued Blasting Freeze hairspray and a flat iron to create a “graphic, cartoon-like” feel. And then there were the select neon-dyed buzz cuts dreamt up in collaboration with L.A. colorist Jacqueline Bieber, whom he discovered through Instagram. One was saturated in aquamarine blue featuring pops of cherry blossoms, a universal symbol of renewal and optimism, to graffiti-like effect. Another vibrant crop was cast in atomic orange in the spirit of David Bowie and Annie Lennox with a diamanté-embellished peace sign design. “We put these little crystals around it to make it even more special, more sort of luxury,” says Palau. “It’s luxury punk.”
Calling to mind the buzzed, acid-washed crops of Frank Ocean and Evan Mock (whom Ocean put on the map when he posted a photo of Mock with blush pink hair at the skatepark to viral effect back in 2019) and furthering the show’s streetwise skateboarder spirit, the imaginative buzz cuts offered serious summertime inspiration. Hair clippers and a box of Manic Panic have never looked so enticing.
