Behind the scenes 🎥📸🇮🇹
We stayed organized, kept everything moving seamlessly, and worked as a strong, united team. Each of us had our place with every models and designing from makeup, to hair, to corseted looks. Bringing the entire vision to life. , , , , , .uk, , , ,
It was an incredible day creating this editorial together.
This week is all about throwing it back to what I was in Italy for 🇮🇹📸🎥 Here is a sneak! It’s finally time to reveal!
In September, I spent 21 days in Italy collaborating with Francesca’s team to create hair collections for the NAHA Awards. This experience was truly about living, learning, and creating alongside like minded stylists who are passionate about expanding their portfolios and exploring the artistry of hair.
Being surrounded by such talented, driven people opened my eyes to so many new ideas and possibilities. It was inspiring to see what can happen when creativity, education, and community all come together in one place. I would recommend this experience to any stylist looking to grow, push their boundaries, and elevate their work.
I also had the incredible privilege of working with a highly sought after photographer and even stepping in front of the camera myself, something completely outside my comfort zone.
This trip truly changed my life. 🇮🇹✨
