Charlie le Mindu
Charlie le Mindu (b. 1987, Bergerac, France) is a Paris-based visual artist who pioneered the use of human hair, among other nontraditional materials, to bring together the worlds of fashion, performance art, and installation. Through his work in salons and underground performance spaces, le Mindu developed a singular approach to hair as sculpture, image, and performance. Defying categorization, he moves between hairstylist, milliner, couturier, sculptor, and performer, creating works that reimagine the body through hair, costume, performance, and constructed identity. His wearable works have been worn by performers including Lady Gaga, Peaches, Björk, and Doja Cat.
