Saks a team presents love and war

The 2014 Saks A Team have finished their year on the team by shooting their own collection, exploring the brief of Love and War. Rather than presenting an end of year show, this year's team were given free reign to create their own shoot, under the watchful and inspiring eyes of the brand's Art Team. The Love and War collection explores the emotions that war brings, ranging from anxiety to fear, pain and loss to relief, peace and happiness. Shaun Stringfellow of Saks Hair Tees Barrage said: "I researched strong women associated with war throughout the ages as I wanted to create an on-trend look in homage to a famous, strong woman from the past.  I chose Helen of Troy, as her hair was usually depicted with plaits and waves which I fused into my final look." Robyn Finc, Franchisee Saks Hair Oldham adds: "I wanted to relay the emotion of losing a loved one through the futility of war. My hair look incorporated an edge on pin curls around the front with texture through the top for a windswept and feminine look to compliment the pain on my woman’s face." Luke Pluckrose of the Saks Art Team says: "We’ve had to wait a little longer for this year’s finale as we fielded a 50-strong hair team at Clothes Show Live in December, including A Team members of course, but this collection’s been worth the wait."
