Style Inspiration: Jigsaw by Yoshiko Hair
Jigsaw is inspired by the breaking down of hair styles and textures, to recreate them into new shapes. I wanted the collection to have a disconnected and distorted feel to it. Like working with mosaics, I wanted to break everything and re-assemble it. I endeavoured to make the models look like wind up dolls with the look that they have been put together like a jigsaw to create an individual and stylized feel. I chose to create a robotic, dramatic collection that borders on


Style Inspiration: Enigma Variations by Gemma McGeown
A symphony of personalities and emotions, each style I created incorporated a “variation” of a hidden theme — the unspoken essence of identity.Every look embodies a different mood and texture, yet all share a unique similarity that binds them together.

Style Inspiration: Tribe by Rush Hair
‘Tribe’ is an exploration of silhouettes, textures, and definitions. This collection transports you to a dystopian future, capturing the essence of apocalyptic femininity with an androgynous touch. A cocktail of irregular textures and lengths, silhouettes and deliberately disconnected, choppy cuts are infused with muted, subtle tones to create a dominant, striking finish. ‘Tribe’ captivates with every look luring you in further. Known for their unique style and influencing t


Style Inspiration: Synergy Collection by Smartest 73 Artistic Team
This collection is a true collaboration of skills, personalities and artists of the Smartest73 Artistic Team and photographer Jamie Blanshard. The vision, born from the concept of Japanese street culture fused with manga influences, was a collective decision to explore. We all share a passion and fascination for the history behind this culture, so all relished the opportunity to create our interpretation of it. Originally shot in colour, our Synergy collection was changed to

Style Inspiration: Modulux by Michelle Summers Davies
“Modulux is a collection born from the collision of future-thinking and technical discipline, with every image crafted to reflect a balance of structure and softness. The name is a fusion of modular and luxury, echoing the concept of building progressive, adaptable hair shapes that feel elevated, wearable, and editorially strong. Inspired by AI-generated concepts, I used technology as a springboard but translated each idea into real-world hair that could move, flow, and hol


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
