Launched in March 2026, Creative Capsule — the new global editorial hair initiative by Intercoiffure Mondial — was created to spotlight the richness of our international community through culture, fashion, artistry and hair craftsmanship.
Every Intercoiffure Section and Region was invited to take part in this inaugural edition for the opportunity to appear on stage on September 12 during “The Hair Show Must Go On!” in Paris, followed by an inspirational and educational workshop on September 13 at the Intercoiffure House of Nations, the prestigious headquarters of Intercoiffure Mondial in the heart of Paris.
Over the course of three months, participating teams were challenged to create far more than a traditional collection. Each team was asked to develop a complete creative universe including a mood board, editorial imagery featuring three models (with at least one male and one female), technical content and educational storytelling.
One ambition guided the entire project: inspiring the world through the world.
Mission accomplished for Argentina, Austria, Bulgaria, Romania, Japan, Sweden, South Africa, South Korea and the Latin America Region, whose teams collectively demonstrated the diversity, creativity and technical excellence that define the Intercoiffure community today.
Creative Capsule was never designed as a traditional competition opposing winners and losers. It was conceived as an international editorial platform celebrating global creativity, technical excellence and cultural expression through hair fashion.
To help shape this first edition, an international jury composed of 10 judges from 8 different countries reviewed all submitted collections, evaluating both artistic vision and technical execution.
Following this process, Intercoiffure Latin America and Intercoiffure Japan have been selected to bring their collections to the stage in Paris this September as part of the live artistic experience of Creative Capsule.
However, the full collections remain under embargo until their official reveal on September 12, 2026.
Until then, discover and share the official press release available in English, German, Spanish, French and Portuguese.
