Can you believe after 2 long years, The Ekka has finally come back! To add to the excitement, we are so thrilled to be the major hair and makeup sponsor for Ekka Fashion and the Natural Fibres Runway show. The parades reflect on the journey of fibres to fashion and showcases the many hands that come together when making a garment. Audiences will be educated on the colourful and creative ways natural materials such as cotton, wool, silk, bamboo, hemp and linen, are used to create the final garments.
Our role in the show was to create hairstyles styles to go with the multitude of different looks from the designers and their fashion. Our styling products of choice is Kevin Murphy and below we have detailed exactly what we’ve used for some of our looks and tips for re-creating these looks from home!
