SPOTLIGHT ON S/S25

HOT ON THE (SLINGBACK) HEELS OF FASHION MONTH…

SLOANE RANGER

VIVIENNE WESTWOOD

SAM MCKNIGHT MBE

“What a fantastic season it’s been for Team McKnight and me. From Richard Quinn in London to Balmain in Paris. This season saw a return of the statement hair ‘do. A highlight was Vivienne Westwood, hair was a nod to the royalty of the ‘80s. Blowout flicks and waves juxtaposed with natural hair texture.”

THE BIGGER, THE BETTER

BORA AKSU

SYD HAYES

“I had the pleasure of being the first to use the new BaByliss PRO Stylista – a re-imagined styler with an incredible full wave thermal sensor and true titanium plates for a seriously smooth, straight finish to create these crafted beehives backstage at the Bora Aksu show.”

MATCHY MATCHY

MAINS

ALI PIRZADEH

“I love working with different materials and marrying them together. I matched the model’s hair texture with fur hats and colour coordinated it with the model’s own hair to create these different shapes and colour patterns.”

GET THE GLOSS

HARRIS REED

ALI PIRZADEH

“Working with such a creative team for Harris Reed is always a highlight. I love finding inspiration in the structure of the garments and enhancing it with the sculptural elements of the hairstyle. I have worked with Harris since the first collection and it’s truly a family, and it’s always great having the support of Dyson as well. We all know I love a high-gloss sculptural moment, and this was it!”

SEEING DOUBLE

DIESEL

GARY GILL

“I loved how extreme this look is and how it carried through to the outfit, using tape-bonded extensions that were meant to look grown out and, in a way, homemade.

HISTORY REBORN

BALENCIAGA

GARY GILL

“A nod to the ‘50s with a barrel curl ponytail. Although I am very anti-glam, I always love a bit of inspiration from that period in beauty history.”
