“I WANTED TO GIVE THE MODELS THE OPPORTUNITY TO EMBRACE ANY INSECURITIES AND TURN THEM INTO A POSITIVE. JAKE WORE A VEST TO SHOWCASE HOW FAR HE HAD COME WITH BATTLING WEIGHT ISSUES AND SEBASTIAN CHOSE HIS WARDROBE TO SHOWCASE HIS INDIVIDUALITY.”

“SHOOTING IN BLACK AND WHITE AND HAVING THE MODELS WEAR THE SAME ITEM BROUGHT THE IMAGES TOGETHER WHILE ALLOWING THE HAIRSTYLES TO STAND OUT. THE VARSITY LOOK GAVE AN AMERICAN AESTHETIC AND ENHANCED THE BLONDE, CLEAN CUT MODEL, WHILE ON THE BRUNETTE MODEL IT ADDED AN EDGE AND LAYER OF MYSTERY.”

”THE INSPIRATION FOR THIS COLLECTION WAS THE EARLY NOUGHTIES WITH A MODERN TWIST. THE COLLECTION EMBODIES THE UK GRIME AND DRUM AND BASS SCENE, BLURRING BOUNDARIES BETWEEN POVERTY AND LUXURY TO EMBODY THE NOUGHTIES ERA WITH A FORWARD THINKING EDGE AND A NOD TO MODERN DAY TRENDS.”

”FOCUS ON WHAT’S IMPORTANT, THE HAIR. THIS COLLECTION ISN’T ABOUT JAW LINES, HIGH FASHION OR GENDER. IT’S ALL ABOUT REFLECTING WHAT HAPPENS IN THE CHAIR DAILY, GOOD HAIR FOR EVERYONE AND ANYONE.”
