Hair accessories designer Colette Malouf is famous for her beautiful hair accessories which she has been creating since 1986 when she designed and created her first hair accessory.
She opened her own business in 1987 after seeing how popular her first design became.
The native New Yorker, raised in Soho, the child of fashion grew up in her family’s glamorous lounge wear business “Perfect Negligee”. Stunning ostrich feathers and jeweled caftans were key ingredients in the family business, proving ongoing inspirational for Colette.
A true New Yorker, Colette grew up amidst the art and design scene of downtown Manhattan.
As a child Colette would sneak into her grandmother’s closet which was full of amazing 30s, 40s and 50s designer clothing and accessories from Schiaparelli, Dior, Norell and Hattie Carnagie.
Jewel encrusted heels, crocodile handbags, white kid gloves and black resin cigarette holders fueled her inspiration when she began creating her own hair accessory lines.
She says, “I am all about ‘sculpting’ the hair with my hair accessories to help women achieve the shape they want,” she says. With that goal in mind she has not only created some amazing hair accessory designs, but matched them to hairstyles they were designed to enhance. (more…)
