In brief
Trevor Sorbie, the creative mind behind the iconic 'wedge' haircut that gained fame with figure skater Dorothy Hamill, has sadly passed away at the age of 75 at his home in Fareham, England. His legacy includes a unique styling technique and a creative influence that made waves in the beauty industry.
Sorbie, whose work touched celebrities from Helen Mirren to the Beach Boys, revealed his battle with bowel cancer last month. His 'wedge' hairstyle, created by chance in 1974, became a cultural phenomenon, symbolizing a bold era of fashion and self-expression. "The wedge captured the spirit of the time and was flaunted in nightclubs around the world," he shared, demonstrating his understanding of hair's revolutionary potential. Honored by Queen Elizabeth II for his contributions to British hairdressing, Sorbie's memory will live on in every snip and style that inspires today’s hair artists.
