T&G-FLUX-Collection.jpgCombining a preview of the TONI &GUY's innovative new collection with the team's stunning work from London Fashion Week and an eclectic set of adventurous avant-garde looks, there was plenty to inspire at the TONI&GUY Salon Live show. 

As the Ting Tings' blared through the speakers, a fleet of 15 models filled the stage, showcasing stunning looks from TONI & GUY's latest collection, Flux.

From cool blonde voluminous curls to dark flicks accented with orange and fuchsia flicks and a 21st-century take on a chic, sweet Julie Andrews-inspired short cut, the collection was a riot of varied, vibrant colours and shapes.

Introduced by their counterpart, international artistic director Bill Watson, nine members of the team then took their places onstage to recreate some of the show-stopping looks.

Aurora, taking its name from the famous Northern Lights, shone with shades of pink, tangerine, violet and the palest silver-gold, gleaming through a long, sweeping fringe, undercut to show off the delicate colour placement.

Preen was a modern revision of a Purdy cut on dark hair, shot through with strands of lavender, inky indigo and raspberry.

Elektra raised eyebrows when the team revealed the buckled, beautifully unruly texture was the result of a perming technique.

Another unique style was the Hed Kandi look, which combined influences from iconic styles of the 1960s, such as the beehive, the sharp mod cut and Brigitte Bardot's sex kitten just-got-out-of-bed hair. .

Colour was key for Tia, which featured flashes of vivid hues veiled through softer shades, and the Freya, created with colour placed in a whirlpool pattern to leave swirling highlights of blueberry and orange through dark hair.

"All the colours in Flux can be mixed and changed, replacing the bold, editorial looks we've used here with more subdued, softer shades in the salon," explained international artistic director Jo O'Neill."Colour is make-up for hair and these looks will all translate to salon clients."
