Renowned runway and celebrity stylist, Matthew Curtis has once again been appointed as the lead stylist for the new series of Britain’s Next Top Model, which is making a comeback on entertainment channel Lifetime® in January 2016. A natural in front of the camera, Matthew previsouly headed up the styling team for Britain & Ireland’s Next Top Model in 2013. As the head stylist for the Wella Professionals hair team using the new styling range, EIMI, Matthew has been overseeing the styling for the contestants and fashion’s future stars, joining the show’s celebrity judges: model and fashion designer Abbey Clancy; model, Paul Sculfor; fashion designer Hilary Alexander and celebrity photographer, Nicky Johnston. As well as creating the looks for the weekly photoshoots, TV adverts and runways, Matthew chose the inspiration behind the defining looks that take the contestants from ordinary to extraordinary. Known as ‘Makeover Week’, historically during this episode, the cherry-picked contestants undergo dramatic hair transformations, all of which have been directed by Matthew. Of the appointment, Matthew commented: “It’s been so exciting to be back on the set of Britain’s Next Top Model on behalf of Wella Professionals. What I love about being on the show is that you get to be so creative with the girls. The more dramatic and interesting the looks, the better! It’s such a buzz seeing the contestants grow in their modelling careers and know that you have been a part of this.” Matthew’s impressive credentials range from celebrity collaborations and television appearances, to creating looks for some of the most iconic and influential designers out there. Effortlessly cool, but at the same time extremely amiable and immensely knowledgeable, Matthew is all about bringing fashion hair to the high-street.
