F.A.M.E Team March Update

F.A.M.E. TEAM 16

It’s been a marvellous and mega-busy March with the F.A.M.E. team! Here’s our highlights…

The month started with the fascinating Zoe Irwin. Zoe is a Trend Forecaster and she showed us how her forecasts develop into styles we see a couple of years later. 

Zoe gave us an honest insight into her incredible career journey as well as a lot of practical tips on the importance of posture and body position so as to avoid strain when drying or styling hair. She even showed us the secret of securing a hair dressing with only 3 French pins!! It was very interesting to listen to a successful women's point of view from the hairdressing industry.

Then we visited the fabulous Vogue 100 exhibition at the National Portrait Gallery – a stunning array of influential fashion images right from when it started in 1916 through to Vogue as we know it today. We all came away with ideas for future shows and ready to shoot some editorial hair!

Next was a planning session to prepare us for our big show in South Africa – all very exciting! (I will reveal more later on). Then we went to the very inspirational Fellowship Masterclass where we got the chance to take in some incredible demos of the latest cutting edge hairdressing techniques from some of the industry’s hottest names.  Big shout out to Jamie Benny who was on stage - he did the F.A.M.E Team proud!

F.A.M.E. Team Update

Wow, what a whirlwind month for the F.A.M.E. team! It’s been one of the busiest yet...  

We have had our first shoot together and our first show as F.A.M.E. Team 16, as well as fitting in workshops with industry icons.  It has been a month for coming closer as a team - learning masses from the best of the best, culminating in presenting our first show together and shooting our first collection 'Curvette'

First there was the shoot preparation day with the fabulous Tina Farey and Andy Heasman of Rush, who gave us enormously practical tips and tricks for ultra-professional prep.

Next up was a fascinating hair additions day with the Balmain team, featuring a demonstration by the famous Errol Douglas MBE, former President, with 'effortless' skills on show.

Now to the shoot itself, with top industry photographer Jack Eames. With the creative direction of Tina, Jack captured fabulous images of the team’s work which will be published in Hairdressers Journal in April so keep a look out! Massive thanks to Jess Gagen, from Boss Model Agency in Manchester for being part of the team.

February still had more in store; as Billy Currie, ex-Sassoon wonder-stylist, shared his career highlights with us – a hugely enjoyable, enlightening and inspiring tale of professional courage, imagination and passion. He even took us to Chiltern coffee house while continuing to tell us fascinating industry stories.

And now to the big finale of the month; Salon London at the famous Excel Centre. Two days of show presentation, six incredible models and our first chance to show what we can do as a team.

Its been such a wonderful experience with really talented, fun and creative teammates. Thank you to Lara McGrath and Isabel Hibbert for being my incredible models. I’m delighted to say there’s much more to come so look out for my next post…
