Style Inspiration: Mr Asia 1971 by Sara Allsop

Mr Asia – 1971  by Sara Allsop, 2025 AHIA New Zealand Hairdresser of the Year, Sara Allsop

Mr. Asia ’71 is more than a collection — it’s a portrait of controlled chaos. It’s about the men who built their empire in silence.

Inspired by the real faces of a underground world: polished, dangerous, and always in control.

Collars exaggerated — long and pointed,

Shirts with prints: paisleys, florals, or abstract patterns.

Colors ranged from burnt orange to deep burgundy. Buttoned low, they showed chest hair and gold jewelry with pride.
