Russia win big at revlon stylemasters 2015

Russia's ??????? ??????? was named the global winner of Revlon StyleMasters 2015, in a glittering grand finale at the Fiera Di Roma in Rome, Italy. More than 30 countries entered the contest, which entailed entering three images of the same model; one avant-garde, one editorial and one commercial. A national winner was announced for each country, before nine overall finalists were whittled down by a panel of international judges. Fighting for the title this year were Markéta Kfelí?ová from Czech Republic, Daniel Tobiasen from Denmark, Magali Charon from France, Evangelia Stefanou from Germany, Nándor Tamás Varga from Hungary, Fabio Massimo Ziccardi from Italy, Adrian Carew from Canada, ??????? ??????? from Russia and Mayte Garrote Velez from Spain. The nine talented finalists were then tasked with recreating their looks live on stage, cheered on by 3,800 hairdressing professionals from across the globe. As well as showcasing the work of the finalists, the evening also saw Revlon Professional pull out the stops for a spectacular show  - hosted by hosted by global creative director Miguel García - introducing their trends and key product launches for the coming year. The evening kicked off with the introduction of Revlon Professional 360, an immersive new education programme covering all aspects of hairdressing. Next on stage were modern-day mermaids, representing the new Bellissima collection. Crinkle curls, beachy pastels and extreme lengths all made up this sun-soaked, beach-ready series of looks. Then it was time for American Crew to celebrate their 20th anniversary, with an army of male models representing four key trends; Mobster, MMA Fighter, Wall Street and Mods and Rockers. Orofluido Asia - an elegant, Eastern-inspired update to the original Orofluido range - was presented through a series of stunning geisha models, as well an infusion of the scent throughout the room. Finally it was time to meet the new Revlon Professional collection for Autumn/Winter, Fall in Love. Taking its cue from English heritage, models were driven through the crowd in an open-top car, before taking to the stage with beagle puppies to parade looks. Dressed in tweeds, tartans and chintzy florals, models rocked tumbling masses of curls and millinery-inspired updos. The evening closed with the all-important announcement of both the StyleMasters winners and the American Crew All-Star Challenge winner, before guests hit the dancefloor for a truly international party. And the winners were... [hji-gallery-legacy]
