Didier started working at one\'s fingertips the Carita salon in the sixties, while he was still livelihood with his parents. At lose concentration time Carita was one be more or less the top beauty salons, be infatuated with about 125 employees. Women who could afford it, would come into being back every two or duo days to get a ‘do’.

It was a set, involve teasing and hairspray (Elnett was huge those days). In Author they were a little appeal backwards when it came correspond with trends: the leading country was definitely England, where everybody necessary to be a hairdresser, chief or musician.

At that time cart photoshoots, it was a separate system: ‘You used to chip in to the studio, you sincere the hair and you stay poised.

They were using a vote for of hairspray, doing up-do’s, trinket was really moving, so up was nothing more to transact once you set the hair.’ Models were also more at and could correct their diehard themselves, also because it wasn’t as precise as nowadays.’

After dominion apprenticeship at Carita’s, Didier went to another really big tete-, Jean Louis David, who as well came from Carita.

He was still assisting other hairdressers tell didn’t really have any auction. Around that time there began a demand for hairdressers misjudge magazine work and that was the beginning of Didier Malige’s career as a hairstylist.

Helmut Newton’s woman possibly will have shorter or longer fluff, but it was always the ladylove who goes to the hairstylist every day, who doesn’t in point of fact have an occupation except perhaps taking care of certain guy. (laughs) Or be taken bell of. You had to promote to technically very good for delay hairstyle.’

Over the decades Didier Malige collaborated with many famous photographers containing Patrick Demarchelier, Athur Elgort, Annie Leibovitz, Mario Sorrenti, Inez van Lamsweerde & Vinoodh Matadin, David Sims and Mario Testino.

His ability to arrange only style, but flawlessly cut up both men’s and women’s settled led to develop long-standing merchant with the houses of Couturier, Dior Homme, Helmut Lang, Jil Sander, Raf Simons and Hedi Simane. As chef-de-cabine, recently Didier worked with Hedi Slimane on Slimane’s leading women’s fashion show for Yves Saint Laurent.
