Anyone who has travelled the Indian sub-continent will have encountered an amazing number of bizarre beards and magnificent moustaches. Such facial hair carries religious, military and personal significance, for millions.

For two years I trekked across India, hunting down fancy follicles. From the chilly heights of the Himalayas to the balmy south, and all points between, the mission grew!

Only 1000 copies of 'Hair India' - the book - were ever printed. That 2008 edition is fast becoming a cult classic. Time is of the essence! Modern Indian men seem to prefer a close shave. Soon sightings of a fine French Fork or massive Mutton Chop will become a thing of the past.

Listing the ‘HAIR INDIA’ Collection on Opensea marks a stunning new chapter in the life of these iconic images. I hope this technology will be a driver for change, and a new generation interested in adopting hirsute styles all of their own will be inspired!
