The July issue of #PARCINQBeauty features seven new faces from the fashion industry highlighting the works of celebrity hairstylist, Mycke Arcano.
“These guys in the shoot are very close to my heart. I’ve done their hair for the past few months and I’m really glad that they agreed to join me in this shoot” Mycke said. He also aims to push men’s hairstyle forward. “It’s not as evident as it is to fix your hair for men. I hope to normalize men’s hairstyling same with women’s hairstyling” he mentioned.
Let's get to know the male muses featured in this shoot:
