Maria Pelo is the new name in fashion - she began her career in graphic design, 3D printing, chainmail, and bespoke leatherwork.

 

Equipped with a diverse skill set, Pelo's work incorporates the diversity of the places she travels, paying homage to cultures and reworking in a modern twist.

 

With an avant-garde approach to designing hair, she has contributed to A-list clientele, Naomi Campbell, Iris Law, Allie X, Alex Consani, and Madeline Brewer.

 

Commercially she's worked across brands including Vogue Japan, Chanel, Balmain, Gucci, Marc Jacobs, Glossier, ASOS, Puma, Nikon, Converse, Habitat and Culted.
 

Pelo's work can be seen in Vogue, Harper's Bazaar, British Vogue, Pap Magazine, SHOWstudio, Hunger, and 17.23. You can also catch her part of Anna Cofone, Sam McKnight, Duffy, and Jawara's teams during fashion week. 

 

An exciting talent, who has the ability to construct conceptual unique hair creations that McQueen would be proud of and nuanced enough to work on more traditional commercial projects.

 

A mischievous attitude and a playful presence on set - Pelo is one to watch.
