USFIN ATELIER FOR ALIX HIGGINS RESORT 2024 - AUSTRALIAN FASHION WEEK 2023

AAFW 23 : USFIN ATELIER X ALIX HIGGINS

This year we had the honour to direct the hair look for Alix Higgins Resort 2024 collection. Daniel, our creative director was appointed as the hair director, working alongside O&M. It was truly a wonderful experience and opportunity for all of our team members. For this collection, Daniel wanted to experiment with contrasting textures and oriental inspired shape.

In an interview with StyleIcons, Daniel shared “ For the hair look we’re playing with a mix of soft and hard styles, contrasting smoothness through the front and texturising through the back, with the short to medium hair look we kept the natural texture of the models’ hair and smoothed out the roots, brushing it all forward to fall over the face. We’re going with the models’ natural hair rather than against that natural hair.”

“The medium to long hair look was Japanese origami inspired, with a double bun, one lower and one at the crown. We have some hair going one direction and the other bun going the opposite, creating more texture and fanning out the ends,”

To achieve this hair style we used O&M Surf Bomb Sea Spray, Atonic hair Thickening Spritz and Original Queenie Firm Hold Hairspray.

Our team went to Carriage Works at 5:40 AM on the day of the show and started doing the model’s hair at 6:00 AM until 8:00 AM !
