Working with Martin Scorsese

Working alongside Martin Scorsese on the Chanel Bleu set was certainly a memorable moment for me. As a freelancer from the fashion world, it's much easier to have access today to these famous Hollywood directors than it used to be, as many of them are now hired to film the big budget TV Commercials.

This image above is a Botticelli hair style I did around 15 years ago with photographer Felix Lammers and makeup artist Yasmin Heinz. At the time I pulled my inspiration from my Sassoon training ,but its time again to think of recreating this style so I'm putting together a moodboard on soft cubism looks to re inspire me.

I HEART

My week revolved around Cheryl Cole, Rankin, The Ham Yard Hotel, TRESemmé and London.If you are planning to visit London, I totally recommend the The Ham Yard Hotel , This is a sister hotel to the Soho Hotel where I often stay - only opened one month ago.

From Beach to Street

It's beach time ! Here are some simple tricks to take your beach hair to the street for late afternoon dinner or drinks.These are tips that work for long hair.
