Design Essentials Day of Teal with Ovacome

Design Essentials supporting Ovacome

A regular supporter of the UK charity Ovacome, Design Essentials again works to make the annual Touch of Teal event a great success. Ovacome is a national ovarian cancer charity and this event (mid September in London’s May Fair Hotel) was inspiring.  A programme included a fashion show, champagne reception, afternoon tea and charity auction, all in aid of Ovacome, with the Design Essentials team donating products and expert styling service. The intention was to help women feel confident, celebrated, and beautiful during this special occasion.

Design Essentials ambition

This year, Design Essentials ambassadors were led by international educator and trichologist Carole Davis. Together they styled the 12 models for a show, many of whom have experienced hair loss as a result of cancer treatment. Working with natural hair and wigs, the team created bespoke, confidence-boosting looks that reflected each model’s individuality and story.

“A Touch of Teal is always such a special event to be part of.It’s about so much more than hair,” says Carole. “Working with women who have been through so much and helping them feel confident and beautiful again is a real privilege. Seeing their faces light up when they look in the mirror and then watching them walk that runway with pride is something I’ll never forget. It’s a reminder of just how powerful hair can be in helping someone feel like themselves again.”
 

Reflecting on the event, we spoke with Sharon Thompson, international marketing manager for McBride Research Laboratories Inc. the parent company for the Design Essentials brand. “For us, Touch of Teal is about more than hair. It’s about helping women reclaim their confidence, no matter where they are in their journey. We are honoured to have once again played a part in such a powerful and uplifting event.”
