I was also lucky to work side-by-side with super-talented session stylist Gary Gill and his team. The hair is always highly creative and fun – neon yellow, bright red, blue and neon green all stand out on the catwalk.
There was no real brief for the hair colour before the show. I just packed everything, which can be difficult when you want to include your whole dispensary into two suitcases! We arrived in Paris to prep the hair two days before so we would have plenty of time.
My favourite challenge is to create the perfect colour that meets the label’s precise vision. Everyone has a different concept of colour so it’s important that we are all on the same page.
There’s a lot of black hair involved, so it’s important to get the absolutely right tone. When you think ‘black hair’ you normally think of just one colour – that’s simple! But when you really look into it there are so many different variations, it’s not as easy as it seems…
Every hair has to be coloured but we can’t have any hairline stains, so precision is key.
The black hair has such an impact on the final look, as well as the other more vibrant colours you see on the runway. Being backstage at Vetements S/S20 was an experience I will cherish forever.
