In recent years the connection between the UK and the Australian hair scene has become stronger. Thanks in big part to the work of photographers such as Andrew O’Toole who successfully champions both territories. And of course, we salute the tenacity and dedication of the Australian hairdressing industry, determined that distance should not stop them being cool-hunters. They watched Europe, they learned and now they have a thing or two to show us! Here’s just such a demonstration of talent in Linda by Dee Parker Attwood. This collection was in the running for Australian Hairdresser of the Year. A fine contender.
Linda
Dee takes up the story behind these images: “Linda Evangelista is one of the greatest supermodels of all time. The Linda collection pays homage to her versatility and her adventurous attitude towards her hair and her image. She showed a boldness that no other model was game to do, rejecting conservative, long hair of that era. I wanted my models to feel the same power and beauty. To own their looks.
“In the 80s and 90s, Linda was a complete chameleon who made her own rules. No length, shape or colour off limits. I wanted to celebrate both beautiful, simple haircuts as well as showcasing more creative colours and styles. These decades still remain my favourite fashion eras. Each image was carefully curated to express how I have evolved as a collection hairstylist and how my own personal tastes are now more stripped back but always clever.”
