Peter Butler

BIO

Having worked in leading salons in Chicago and Los Angeles, hair stylist Peter Butler set off for the City of Lights.  Inspired by the world of fashion and wanting to refine his technique, he spent years in Paris assisting industry icons and collaborating with major fashion photographers and designers.  Butler then returned to the US where his sophisticated technique, professionalism and refreshing attitude were quickly embraced by the fashion industry.  In demand on both sides of the camera, he has worked with the Learning Channel for their series "Cover Shot" and appeared numerous times on MTV's "Fashionably Loud" and "Mission Makeover," as well as his most recent recurring role on the iconic "Project Runway." He has also been a contributing editor for the legendary Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue, producing 7 consecutive covers.

 

Butler's dedication to his craft and endlessly creative attitude have come to define his remarkable career and collaborations with the industry's best.  His signature looks have graced the pages of major fashion magazines from W to Vanity Fair to Interview and on the heads of internationally renowned actresses and musicians alike.  His advertising clients include major campaigns for Christian Dior Beauty, L'Oreal Paris, Maybelline and the Gap.

 

Butler's wide range of personal experiences and inspirations range from the Southern California surf scene to motorcycling to Rock n' Roll to the glamour of Paris Haute Couture.  Butler's celebrity clients include Natalie Portman, Anne Hathaway, Claire Danes, Sharon Stone, Rene Zellweger and Cindy Crawford.

 

Butler currently resides in New York City.
