This textured cut from TIGI’s new Game On collection is an updated version of one of Anthony Mascolo’s favorite, versatile shapes. The strong structure is balanced with soft blending for a face-flattering effect and styling adaptability. For the color, shades of lily white beige and buff suede are worked through the hair and under the perimeter, creating panels at the sides and front to enhance movement and soft texture.
