At 'The Grand Budapest,' A Banquet Of Beards And Melange Of Mustaches Director Wes Anderson is known for his especially exacting visual style — an attention to detail that goes right down to the individual hairs on his actors' faces. Take The Grand Budapest Hotel, Anderson's historical fairy tale about a luxury central European hotel on the edge of war in the 1930s. Nearly every male character in the film has some kind of painstakingly designed facial hair. And in charge of the trimming, styling and coloring of each follicle — real or fake — was hair and makeup designer Frances Hannon. She's been nominated for an Oscar for her work on the film, which has been nominated for nine...

A balbo beard is divided into three separate parts: mustache, goatee, and soul patch. In some variations, the soul patch and goatee are connected. The balbo is named after Italo Balbo, an early 20th century Italian military official, and has been worn by a number of American celebrities, including American actors Robert Downey, Jr. and Eric Dane.

The soul patch — the small area of hair just below the bottom lip — is either connected to the beard to form an upside-down “T” shape or stands...

There's been a new trend of sorts on our radar, and its name is androgynous fashion. Imagine riding the bus in the morning and side-eyeing a sheer pussy-bow blouse on the cute guy with the scruff reading his paper next to you, as well as the engineer boots and buzzed crew-cut of the woman standing by the door. It's not a side-eye of bewilderment, but of appreciation. Personally, I think we're on the verge of those scenes becoming more of the norm. In the last couple of years, genderless designs in the clothes hitting our display windows have grown more common — the classic men versus women dichotomy blurring.

Though the years after c.2010 have seen an unexpected return of the beard to western fashion, by early in 2015 something of a backlash against such 'hipsters' had begun. In the context of radical Islam too, Orientalist perceptions of beards should not be overlooked (Awan and Zempi 2015 ; Culcasi and Gokmen 2011 ); facial hair is an easy touchstone for the...
