Vidal Sassoon "changing the world with a pair of scissors"

A legend sadly passed away this week - Vidal Sassoon, the man who was attributed with "changing the world with a pair of scissors". His signature geometric bob first seen in 1963 liberated women the world over - freeing them from the constraints of curlers and hairspray! Here are some of his iconic haircuts including the revolutionary 'Five-Point Cut' debuted by the then top model and now fashion director of US Vogue, Grace Coddington.

Adele

After her enormous success at this years Grammy the beautiful Adele has now added another triumph to her portfolio by gracing the cover of Vogue US in March of this year - the photos by the extremely talented Mert and Marcus are just stunning with sultry, liquid lined eyes, windblown hair and a seductive glimpse of cleavage. We just love......

....and while we are here we couldn't pass up the opportunity to take another look at her standout performance at the Brits last year.
