Fellowship masterclass back for 2015

The Fellowship Masterclass recently hosted its first show of 2015, with a star-studded lineup of presentations and an interview with Angelo Seminara. More than 200 hairdressers attended the event, which was held in Bloomsbury, London. Twelve young hairdressers were selected to headline the show, as part of a group dubbed the New Creative Force. Presenting on the night were Sam Burnett from Hare and Bone, Altin Ismaili and Dan Spiller from Marc Antoni, Ashleigh Hodges from Flame Hair Studios, Joseph Ferraro from Halo Hair and Beauty, Leighanne Regan from Indy Hairdressing, Dale Herne from Rush, Simon Tuckwell from Zullo & Holland, Sophia Hilton from Brooks & Brooks, Jake Unger from HOB Salons, Oon Ng from Sassoon and Jake Akers of Mahogany. As the twelve talented artists presented on podiums, guests were free to walk around and take a closer look at the work, as well as asking any questions or getting advice on techniques.

Angelo talked about the diversity of his work as a session stylist and director for Davines, but stated that his family always comes first - "Never give up that part of your life," he advised those in the room; "it's what helps keep you grounded!" As well as talking about his career today, Angelo also discussed the early days of his hairdressing work. He revealed that he'd undertaken a photography course at the acclaimed Central St Martin's college to better understand photographic work. He also advised those in the room to throw themselves into research; "If I am attracted to something I always look a little longer than anyone else," he said. "I am curious, I want to know more too - it really is continuous research that has helped with my success!" "The Fellowship never looks backwards, always forwards when it comes to creativity," concluded Errol at the end of the night. "Last year we had the Future Fantastic collective. This year it's the New Creative Force. it is so exciting to experience this mind-blowing talent that we have at The Fellowship. We have some of the most influential creative young minds in the land."
