This Fresh Eggs-Head Actually Won First Prize in an Easter Egg-Head Competition in 1980

You can’t talk about the 1980s without discussing bold fashion risks. With blown fresh eggs, this 21 year old director won first prize as a Easter Egg-head – what a cracking idea in 1980. The photo was taken by U.K. photographer Dennis Hutchinson.

The photograph captures a very 1980s-style creative moment—likely intended to blend fashion, humor, and a bit of seasonal fun. The model’s hair is styled using real or faux eggs, cleverly tied in as curlers, highlighting both whimsy and creativity. It’s a playful nod to beauty rituals, reimagined with a festive Easter twist.
It’s a classic example of the kind of offbeat competitions and eccentric styles that thrived during that era, particularly in the U.K., where tongue-in-cheek fashion statements were often embraced with pride.
