ONSTAGE
TROPHY LIFE We showcase a deeper look at the work of L’Oréal Professionnel Colour Trophy 2018 winners and medallists, clearly presenting just why these editorial creations wowed the judges after an exhaustive national search. TAKE A DEEP COLLECTIVE breathe – the return of the L’Oréal Professionnel Colour Trophy Awards is over, after an extensive semi-final run with events in each state, and a grand finale that took place at the beginning of February at The Palms at Crown, Melbourne. In our previous issues, we documented these events in full, from the enthralling runway shows at each state semifinal, to the inspiring Avant Garde presentation by acclaimed international Avant Garde Guylaine Martel at the grand finale, and the winner announcements that acted as the pinnacle of the final night. Today we’re here to take a closer look at the work of the winners, who inspired with bold, rich and gentle colour looks all at once. Congratulations again to the evening’s major winner Wendy
