While too intricate for everyday back-to-school looks, Laetitia Ky's hairstyles showcase true artistry. This 21-year-old Ivorian designer and sculptor captivates over 125,000 followers with imaginative creations like umbrellas, handbags, and cakes—all crafted from her long afro hair. It's her unique tribute to her roots, weaving in nods to Côte d'Ivoire. As she told Vogue US, “I use myself as a canvas to symbolize self-confidence and self-love.”
Laetitia goes beyond aesthetics: a dedicated activist, she tackles real-world issues. During the #MeToo movement, she sculpted a hairstyle showing a man lifting a woman's skirt to join the conversation.
Recently, protesting the arms lobby, she formed a gun from her hair—a striking way to amplify her voice for social change.
