FIRST SOME HISTORY…
Named after the most famous fictional barber in Western culture, the protagonist of the opera The Barber of Seville, by Giacomo Puccini, Club Fígaro is probably the most ambitious project in the Hairdressing sector in Spain. A non-profit associative project created in 2009 by seven of the main hairdressing firms in the country. An initiative of Mikel Luzea (Pamplona) that reunited Felicitas Ordás (Barcelona), Gemis (Valencia), Óscar G (Vitoria), Rizos (Madrid), X-pressure (Madrid) and Toni & Guy (Valencia) to create the beginning of a professional association whose main objective was the creation of the Spanish Hairdressing Awards. The main sponsor since its inception has been Revlon Professional España. The Spanish Hairdressing Awards covers every facet and category in the profession, but we are here to celebrate the winners of Men’s Category…moving along..
WINNERS - David and Marcus Siero.
Congratulations from Australia gentlemen, tell us a little about yourselves.
We were two brothers eager to learn and go to London to leave a legacy in Spain. We both started in Spain in a large firm called Rizos, but after working for a short time in Spain we traveled to London to make a living and work in one of the best companies in the sector at that time. By working in one of the most competitive and creative companies, your creative gene comes out and from there you train and create collections while learning with the best.
What is it you love about Men’s’ Hair Fashion?
We love men’s fashion, we always look at big catwalks and brands such as Gucci, Prada, D&G, etc. And from there we observe what people is wearing. We like both the creation process and obviously the end result.
The inspiration behind the collection?
The inspiration of HERMITAGE ROAD is a bit of a tribute to London, to all the years we lived there. Its name comes from the street where we lived and the warehouse we had on that same street where we could watch fashion go up and down every day. Warehouses were places where very cool people met, and they were fashionable. That’s where the main inspiration comes from. As for the collection, you can see different lengths and textures that make it a complete and balanced collection. We have also added black hair, which we think is a very striking trend nowadays. Also, notable bangs, pure geometries and SIËRO textures.
What does it mean for you to win this award?
It has been a pride and a pleasure to get our 5th Fígaro Award, and our 2nd in the men’s category, and the truth is that we celebrate it in style the way it should be, right? Haha! We love trying to better ourselves year after year and get the job done right. Our goal for the future is continuing to build and position the SIËRO brand both nationally and internationally.
