Dale Hunt — Allure

About

The
Project

Artist Dale Hunt and Feel Hairdressing Soho have collaborated in a unique project exploring the synergy between contemporary art, retail ambience, and shared cultural values.

Drawing on a 40-year career in fashion, design, and art, Hunt places his vibrant, reinterpreted 1980s' hairdressing imagery within the curated boutique that reflects a shared philosophy of authenticity and style.

"I intend this initiative to serve as a non-commercial exploration of 'participant-observation', where art highlights the intrinsic spirit and attitude of an environment, rather than the purely mercantile."

— Dale Hunt

The Artist

Dale
Hunt

With a career spanning four decades across fashion, design, and art, Dale Hunt brings a unique perspective to contemporary painting — one shaped by formative years hairdressing on London's King's Road.

Under art director Ted Reynell, Hunt absorbed a philosophy of cutting "attitude out of hairstyles" — an ethos that deeply informs his current authentic aesthetic.

Having shifted from ephemeral hairdressing to the tactile depth of painting 30 years ago, Hunt's current canvases reinterpret styles from '80s luminaries, reflecting how fashion intersects with emotion, identity, and cultural change.
