sait y faire

French to English Other Textiles / Clothing / Fashion hairstyles
From an account of a hairdressing exhibition in which the client and stylist appear side by side.

Coupe en mouvement, duo dans le vent.
Dominique le nonchalant sait y faire,
Elles se jettent toutes à son cou.
Allure bohème rebelle pour lui,
Look électrique et œil pétillant pour elle.
