'LEGENDS'. Royal Albert Hall Alternative Hair Show 2012

The vision of Alternative Hair is to recognize and honor creative talent as well as recognizing the future stars of tomorrow.

The show has grown into the world's most prestigious annual hairdressing event, hosting leading teams and inspirational hair artists from all over the globe. In doing so, the Alternative Hair Show has raised an astonishing amount of over £8 million for research.

On Sunday 14 October 2012, the newly appointed charity fighting Leukaemia, Alternative Hair Foundation returned to the Royal Albert Hall for its 30th Anniversary show 'LEGENDS'.

The show promises to deliver a charged atmosphere of inspiration and celebration with imaginative performances and memorable hair artistry I was so happy to be part of it.

.The Visionary Award, has developed from the original concept of Alternative Hair President Anthony Mascolo, and has become an increasingly popular addition to the show. 

International Visionary Award Royal Albert Hall

 I was delighted to be part of the show working alongside  Anthony Mascolo creating the hair for the show.   The visionary Award was created by Anthony Mascolo, President of the Alternative Hair Award, to recognise and encourage a new generation of creative and artistic hairdressers. Contestants globally from England, Australia, Ireland, Russia, Italy, France, Japan and Hungary took to London’s Royal Albert Hall stage to present their individual interpretations of  Alternative show theme: “ILLUSION".

Being a visionary to me implies a constant search and desire to create new frontiers with hair. Being receptive to stimuli all around me means I can create freely using hair as my means of expression. 

Inspired by the Russian painter Kandinsky and his approach to form created by colour, I created my designs based on his techniques. 

You can see the true creativity of the International Visionary Award teams. I’m so proud being part of it.
