Redken tribe rocks the runway
Redken TRIBE 2011 lived up to its 'Rock the Runway' billing with a tantalizing mixture of dazzling hair shows, the latest in fashion, and the hottest up-and-coming music acts.
R&B singer Terri Walker kicked off the show by hyping-up the Brixton Academy crowd for the night's first hair show - a digitally inspired 'Matrix' runway spectacular by Leo Bancroft.
Futuristic looks included an exaggerated blonde high ponytail, worn by a model whose head was encrusted with crystals, and a side swept candy-floss creations accented with shimmering silver clips.
The 21 NYC Hair show finalists enjoyed their moment in the spotlight, when their models took to the runway and, as tension built before the announcement of the prize winners, South London Rapper XO hit the stage and fired out two pumping tracks.
Then the three NYC Hair Show winners were named as:
- Style Innovator: Jakata, Warrington
- Male Expert:
- Color Genius:
The evening climaxed with a show-stealing finale from Andrew Barton, which showcased four key trends from the A/W 2011 Runways - Androgynous, Dominatrix, Colour Blocking and Victoriana.
While the four trends each had their own distinct look and feel the over-riding theme was drama as Andrew sent models with over-sized quiffs, striking red wine and orange hues and head-pieces made of colourful perspex cylinders down the runway.
Energetic, young and happening artist Natalie May rounded off the evening before DJ Johnny Russell took over to spin the latest tracks until the small hours.
