Oribe is considered to be one of the most influential hairstylists of all time. His collaborators include countless photographers, like Bill King, Steven Meisel, Irving Penn, , Richard Avedon, Patrick Demarchelier, Annie Leibovitz, Herb Ritts, Francesco Scavullo and Horst. Oribe has worked with creative directors like Fabien Baron and Keesha Keeble; make-up artists like François Nars, Pat McGrath, Kevyn Aucoin, Sonia Kashuk and Stephane Marais; and fashion designers like Gianni Versace, a mentor who inspired Oribe’s tattoos, and Karl Lagerfeld, who took the rock and roll hairstylist under his wing. And then there are the models, the celebrities and the icons he transformed and learned from, in fact, it was Diana Ross who showed Oribe how to really secure a wig. From Beverly Johnson the pre-cursor to the supermodel, to Christy Turlington who Oribe appears with in an iconic Vogue spread to the always radiant Heidi Klum and Naomi Campbell. Of course, one can’t leave out Jennifer Lopez who called for Oribe to help define her look after imagining him doing her hair ever since she was a girl on the subway reading his name in fashion magazines.

All told, Oribe has contributed to just about every major magazine and worked on just about every major fashion show. His work is seen monthly on the covers and pages of major fashion magazines throughout the world including: Vogue, Elle, Glamour, Mademoiselle, Harper’s Bazaar, GQ, W and V. When he is not on set, Oribe is working out of his South Beach salon.
