Style Inspiration: Mira by Rainbow Room International Artistic Team
Mira is about refinement and harmony, grounded in precision and control. Clean, structured shapes are softened by subtle texture, creating balance without excess. Each look is carefully considered, with no single element overpowering another. Colour is used thoughtfully, enhancing rather than competing, creating a sense of cohesion throughout the collection.

Style Inspiration: D2R by Paul James Graham
My collection is the manipulation of beauty and gender, and it's impact on the Hair world. Blurring the lines of gender is still creating fresh and new ideas for Hair, Beauty and Fashion. I was drawn in by Reality Star Raja Gemini on the cover of Stunnin Magazine , and the warm yellow, black and white colour pallete featured throughout (see mood board). The colour selection reminded me of roadworks signs, hence the collection name, D2R (a play on the word Detour). It's with a


Style Inspiration: Silhouette by HOB Academy
Silhouette boldly explores the relationship between precision and form. Focused on wearable geometric haircuts, the collection features sharp lines, tousled textures, and architectural shapes that highlight craftsmanship and control. Each cut is a sculptural statement, designed to frame the face and accentuate bone structure. Strong angles and clean silhouettes lend a futuristic, graphic edge to the overall aesthetic. Complementing the hair are fashion-forward silhouettes t

Style Inspiration: Phoenix by Caprice De Sanctis
Phoenix , a deeply personal collection that symbolizes transformation, resilience, and rebirth. Inspired by the mythical bird that rises from its own ashes, this work reflects my own journey of falling, burning out, and ultimately returning stronger and more passionate than ever. After moving salons twice and enduring relentless bullying, I reached a point where I questioned everything— career, identity, and whether I still belonged in the hair industry. The fire I once had

Style Inspiration: Unfinished Symphony by Harry Andreou
“I wanted to create a collection that celebrates imperfections. I wanted hair that felt raw, messy, and as if you’re seeing it mid-transformation. I was inspired by rough edges, ideas unresolved and hair that’s not quite finished. Some looks are soft, some are hard, but they’re all rebelling against the need for everything to be polished for approval.” Harry Andreou Hair by Harry Andreou,Winchester Make-up: Si James Styling: Magdalena Jacobs Photographs: Chris Bulezuik
