Ultra-soft fabrics and sophisticated cuts combine with traditional craftsmanship for a series of designs that integrate hard, white porcelain accessories into decorative body armour. Airy chiffon dresses control the majority of the collection, while leisure beachwear pieces complement gauzy outerwear.

Hair was prepped with copious amounts of volume mousse and worked through and pulled at, with the fingers keeping a very dishevelled, undone, rough texture. Hair was then pulled back off of the face into a high ponytail and secured with an elastic.

Hairdryer, Elastics and volume mousse

Hairstyles created
Hair was blow-dried away from the face to create a clean hairline. A top section was taken from the crown to the front, and a back section taken from the ears down. The remaining hair was tied into an extremely tight ponytail, below the crown. The top section was then backcombed and dressed into a cycling helmet profile and fixed with a barrette clip.
Must-have session kit
Sacha Mascolo-Tarbuck Professional Straightening Iron, cushion brush, barrette clips, elastic, volume mousse, hairspray and shine mist

Futuristic meets bridesmaid from hell or prison warden.
