Fekkai in Soho!
Dispatches restless stylist to start downtown hair colony.
With a client roster that reads like the front-row seating chart at a Zac Posen show, Frederic Fekkai’s top stylist, Fabrice Gili, has outgrown his station at the Madison Avenue temple to the flawless social blowout. And in a move to preempt his inevitable desertion (and to hold on to clients like Heidi Klum and Scarlett Johansson, to whom Gili once gave a tasteful mullet), Fekkai is going into business with him, but in Soho. Which means that instead of the three floors of corporate-sleek uptown, there’s going to be a D.J. and Internet connections at every station (so clients can Google the celebs they want to look like).
