“This is a collection that celebrates structure within creativity, a visual formula where colour becomes more than aesthetic; it becomes emotion, intention, and identity. The Power of Three is bold, modern, and perfectly measured. This is built on the principle of the Power of Three; a carefully crafted colour structure that is utilised in fashion, interior design and marketing. This visual ratio creates harmony and contrast by utilizing the 60/30/10 method: 60% dominant colo

A futuristic post-apocalyptic vision of our worlds created with stunning colour, intricate placement, and dramatic shape. Bold, sharp, contrasting lines and disconnected cuts are complimented my soft pastel shades and subtle panels and blends. The most simple, classic shape and movement are dramatised with definitive technique and striking use of tone and contrast. APEX is the strength, attitude and tenacity needed for a post-artificial intelligence uprising. Steven Smart – B

Her Thorns - This collection explores feminine duality, beauty sharpened by survival. Rooted with my own life experience as a woman whose family fled a war-torn country. "Her Thorns" examines a tension between perfection and imperfection, and the balance of anarchy and allure. The graphic style inspired by the defiance of 80's punk twisted with the elegance of a vintage Chanel shoot. With sculptural silhouettes, sharp lines and monochromatic palette, the hair becomes wearabl

WITHIN is rooted in the natural coexistence of contrasts: strength and calm, intensity and subtlety. A duality that doesn’t oppose itself, but defines what a woman is. Because a woman holds both at once — warrior and lover. Strength and sensitivity, existing from within. The collection is built through observation rather than transformation. Each woman is approached through her own language — her texture, the way she wears her hair, her personal style — working from what alre

“With Illume, I present a collection driven by light, restraint and identity. Light is not treated as an effect, but as a language – revealing form, movement and nuance. This collection explores softness, transparency and contrast, translating these elements into modern hair design that feels personal, intelligent and timeless. Illume is created for individuals who see hair as an extension of who they are, rather than a trend to follow. Illume is inspired by the way light int

“Arise represents a defining moment in my creative journey—an exploration of colour, texture and form. Working with a refined palette of soft, universal pastels, I’ve created a series of considered shapes across short and longer lengths, each with its own distinct identity. Clean, minimal make-up and understated styling allow the hair to take focus, highlighting both technique and finish. This collection signals a growing confidence in my work and offers a glimpse of the crea

We drew inspiration from powerful women supermodels from the 80's and wanted to bring it into 2025 by using scan influences and style. Hair: F.A.M.E. Team supported by Christel Barron Hough and Gen Itho at STIL Salon Photography: Richard Miles Makeup: Trafford College Styling: Clare Frith

“Beyond the Title reflects an evolution of my creative journey. It builds on exploring what lies beyond recognition - where artistry shape and colour take centre stage. Through bold portraits that evoke emotion, Beyond the Title showcases hair as both structure and expression. It celebrates the ongoing pursuit of loving what you do - a fusion of vision, skill, and enduring passion for British Hairdressing.” Cos Sakkas Hair by Cos Sakkas, Global Creative Director TONI&GUY Ma

Clique draws inspiration from the iconic high school films of the 1980s, particularly the work of director John Hughes. The concept was built around the idea of classic school photo day — awkward, over-styled, and totally unforgettable. Each look is a nod to the exaggerated stereotypes and cliques that defined teenage life in that era — from the jock to the rebel, the nerd to the misfit. I wanted the shoot to feel nostalgic, playful, and tongue-in-cheek. Capturing the awkw

A study in controlled intensity. This collection explores how far color can be pushed without losing it's refinement. Not through volume - but through precision. Atmosphere becomes movement. Movement becomes structure. Three chapters. One vision. Color as identity. Form as direction. Silence as power. Vivid silence is not about trend. It is about authorship. A signature. Defined. Where hair meets character. Hair: Mark van Westerop Photography: Ivo de Kok Make-up: Angelique

“I was inspired by the birth of Venus painting and the renaissance era, recreating the waves and air through the Goddess’s hair as she emerged from the ocean.” Dean Lawton Taylor Hair by Dean Lawton Taylor at Trinder Hair Studios, St Albans @deanlawtontaylorhair Makeup: Grace Hayward @gracexhayward Photographer: Chris Bulezuik @chrisbulezuikphotography

Lucid Futurism was born from a desire to restore feeling in an era of digital desensitisation. We are living in a time where everything is louder yet somehow less expressive, polished yet emotionally flat. I felt compelled to create work that cuts through that noise - work that reawakens sensation, imagination, and hope. This collection reflects my belief that hair can be both precision craft and emotional language. It represents joyful rebellion against digital sameness and

Water Babes The idea was to let Coloraqua speak for itself, showing how the colour catches the light and moves with the hair, creating a sense of gentle flow, highlighting the subtle movement, depth, and light in the hair.

Kioto is born at the exact point where precision meets emotion. A collection that plays with geometry and fluidity to create a contemporary, magnetic, and deeply expressive kind of beauty. Inspired by the aesthetics of Asia and the Middle East, the proposal focuses on strong, almost sculptural features, contrasted with clean, luminous skin. There’s something intentional in that balance: strength and softness coexisting effortlessly. The cuts are precise, but never rigid. Line

Textured Anarchy reimagines post-punk for the modern era, blending raw texture with controlled chaos. The collection celebrates individuality through undone finishes, sharp shapes, and an effortlessly rebellious edge.

Eden is the fantastical new collection from nine-time-consecutive New Zealand Hairdresser of the Year Danny Pato MNZM, photographed by long-time collaborator Mara Sommer. “Eden is a place of mystery and myth,” explains Pato, “where the seeds of life, knowledge and humanity originated. ” “I was inspired by a wondrous environment of colour and form, where flowers grow and flourish; however, in this place of paradise, the asp watches and waits for an opportunity to disrupt the f

‘Linen’ brings together colour, texture and shape in a way that feels balanced and instinctive. Soft, natural tones are paired with moments of stronger colour placement, while the cuts play with movement and subtle texture. The overall feel is expressive yet relaxed, creating a series of looks that blend softness with a slightly undone, modern edge.

Birds is the evocative new collection from nine-time-consecutive New Zealand Hairdresser of the Year Danny Pato MNZM, photographed by long-time collaborator Mara Sommer. For Pato, the conceptual shoot is a symbolic celebration for the part birds play in his creative world. “Birds grace our skies and treetops with their extraordinary beauty, filling the air with their songs and warnings,” explains Pato. “Since ancient times, humans have literally and figuratively imitated bird

Afterglow captures the radiance after the light moves on – the warmth that rests on skin, the softness that settles into the room Each portrait in this collection sits in that tender space between daylight and shadow. Textures breathe. Curls, coils, braid, and weaves take on sculptural shapes, illuminated by sunlit geometry. This collection is a study of warmth, identity, and the artist found in the seconds just after the sun. Hair: Eunji Kim @eunjikimhair Photographer L

What happens when you step outside the lines, push beyond the familiar and embrace the unknown? This collection is a celebration of breaking free - of stepping out of the box and into a world of boundless creativity. Inspired by the beauty found in fashion, nature, architecture, and patterns, each look reimagines these elements in vivid, mesmerising hair colour. Shapes, textures, and hues collide in ways that just work—just like the magic that happens when you trust your visi

“This collection is my reflection of the strong, vivid colour predominately illustrated in the Japanese comic genre. The vision for this collection was born from the concept of Japanese street culture fused with manga influences. Creatively it was a fascinating concept to explore as the history behind this culture is so intrinsically reliant on colour in all its forms but especially the bold! I relished the opportunity to express my creativity with my interpretation of such a

There has been so much talk about Pantones colour of 2026 ‘CLOUD DANCER’ and I for one am totally here for it 🤍. Now, we all know that Pantone predictions aren’t directly aimed at the hairdressing industry nor would we actually want it to be, personally I believe it to have more relevance to fashion, textiles and furnishings but as it’s always a huge buzz over socials I believe to ignore it would be a wasted opportunity. CLOUD DANCER doesn’t necessarily mean plain white

Flower of Life - a painting by Frida Kahlo Muse Frida Khalo: “I paint flowers so they do not die” The inspiration started with Frida Kahlo’s painting The Flower of Life. I was drawn to the intensity of red in the artwork. The use of red in the collection symbolizes the life force and resilience Frida captured through her work Showing the strength, beauty, and individuality she embodied as a woman.

I was inspired by the mythological story of King Midas and his golden touch. The Greek god Dionysus granted Midas with this gift which turned to curse, everything he touched turned to gold. Dionysus is the Greek god of wine & fertility and he was known to have a modest number of lovers. In this collection I wanted to mesh editorial with mythology and storytelling. The models are the would be lovers of Dionysus and King Midas. Using hair art techniques of hair paper and glue

“I wanted to celebrate confidence from a woman’s perspective. I imagined each model as the distilled qualities of female empowerment, ambassadors of an elemental and commanding feminine Presence. This collection is called Parousia (the Greek word for Presence). Each look was used as a focal point to display core hairdressing techniques, to emphasise the strength of skill and how it is embodied by the models.” Efi Davies British Hairdresser of the Year Hair by Efi Davies at
