Simone Knapp

Simone Knapp worked as a hairstylist in the film industry, credited on three French New Wave films from the early 1960s. Knapp styled hair for Belle de Jour (1967), a drama directed by Luis Buñuel. Earlier, Knapp contributed to Vivre Sa Vie (1962), directed by Jean-Luc Godard, and Bay of Angels (1963), directed by Jacques Demy. These collaborations placed Knapp within a period of stylistic experimentation in European cinema, where visual detail—including hairstyling—played a role in the films’ aesthetic. The credits indicate Knapp’s involvement in shaping the period-appropriate looks for characters in these productions. Beyond these titles, no further verified film credits are recorded for Knapp.
