D&j ambrose art team wow clubstar

The D&J Ambrose Art Team wowed the audience at the first ClubStar event of 2016, held at the Wella Studios in London. HJ’s British Hairdresser of the Year Darren Ambrose welcomed the audience to what promised to be a great event, before introducing art director Kieran Tudor to the stage. Kieran proved an engaging host, introducing the audience to the team’s latest collection, inspired by art movemnets of the 1920, including Dada. D&J Ambrose art directors Michael Francos and Luke Benson joined Kieran on stage for the first segment of the evening. Luke portrayed a “pop art feel” with makeup complementing the style, while Michael worked with a male model, telling the audience that fringes would be big for men in 2016. Next on stage was International colour director Abby Smith and national colour director Clayde Baumann with their colour expertise. Abby spoke of the graphic trend with particular influences from the Dada image by Paul Rand, which had led her to create a street art look using stencils and colour. Clayde described the influences of the Pantone colour palette on his model and how he had used “peach echo” and “snorkel blue” in his marbling effect. The final model of this section was enhanced by the addition of hair pieces in what Clayde described as an “expression of colour and emotion.” The final segment of the evening was long hair, and included runway styling. Kieran was joined on stage by Michael and Luke who all demonstrated their skills. Luke focused on a twenties feel that was complimented by a bold hair piece creating a pop art finish. Michael focused on men’s styling and his “neo expressionist” look worked with his models natural curl and texture. Kieran created detailing with gold grips with beachy waves giving a romantic and elegant feel. [hji-gallery-legacy]
