Hairstylist Garren transformed models into supermodels (Linda Evangelista, Karlie Kloss), helped celebrities like Victoria Beckham and Madonna create their looks, and co-founded the hair line R+Co during his long and legendary career. In this interview, he tells us everything: the guidance counselor who told him he wasn’t allowed to do hair; the photographers he collaborated with (Irving Penn! Richard Avedon!); and all the things he’s learned about people—and their hair—along the way. This interview originally aired in 2019, but we’re presenting it with a new intro. We’ll be back to our regular schedule next week!
