Ksubi, RAFW 2010

by Stevie English on May 9, 2010












Ksubi, one of the most famous clothing labels here in Australia, it’s the hipsters choice. When Verity said she was going to be doing hair at Ksubi, all the staff were dying to assist. Ksubi is cooler than cool, and as they have not shown in a few years there was a lot of buzz and excitement around the show.
The hair brief was “Centre part, everyone had their hair extended with wefts (fake hair) and cut straight” and if you have seen models hair you know that’s hard! Went with a geometric, sixties vibe. “28 models, not enough time to prep hair, HELL WITH THE LID OFF!!” said a very tired but clever Verity. Some times the most simple looks can be some of the hardest to pull off.
Verity was just one of the team directed by Jon Pulitano.

Hair and Sharks

by Stevie English on May 7, 2010

Hairy sharks don’t normally go, I’ve never seen one, nor do I want to but…
Stevie English is proud to support Dead Sharks ain’t Art, an arts event and auction raising funds to stop all forms of shark slaughter.

As an environmentally friendly salon, we are concerned by the fact that threatened and endangered sharks are killed for their fins off the coast of Australia in huge numbers. Already 90% of the world’s sharks have been wiped out.

To show our support, we have donated some hair cut and blow dry appointments for the live and silent auction. Other major prizes include specially commissioned artworks and a weekend for two scuba diving.

If you would like to join us on Tuesday please RVSP below, entry is free and drinks and nibbles will be provided. All money raised will go towards the NCC’s work for the greater protection of sharks and their habitat.??

When: 6.30pm – 9.30pm, Tuesday 11 May, 2010
Where: Mori Gallery, 168 Day Street, Sydney?
For more details please call The Nature Conservation Council on (02) 9516 1488 or email: jgarcia@nccnsw.org.au?

Camilla & Marc Oz spring/summer 2010

Quite often in fashion shows, doing hair for 20 models in a short time can be rather challenging, so the hair is kept quite simple. For the Camilla & Marc show it was “dry textured, rough, and with a low pony”. A ponytail can be the undoing of a hairdresser, it is not as easy [...]
