Students envision Beautify with Goldwell

Posted on May 22, 2013 by mcorcoran

FdA Hair and Make Up for Fashion students have collaborated with hair styling brand, Goldwell, in their annual exploration of the brand’s current Colour Zoom trend.

Students produced videos and shoots capturing their interpretation of this year’s theme, ‘Beautify’, a celebration of the power of style to generate positive thinking.

Made in collaboration with students from LCF’s School of Media and Communications, the productions showcased the artists’ hair and make-up creations.

Each student brought their individual style to their vision of the theme. Split into groups they created six projects: New Masters of Colour, Scarabaidae, Blonde Forever, Morphing Magdalene, Pop Tarts and Berlin 2013, all of which revelled in colour, empowerment and personality.

Goldwell Creative & Technical Director, William Wilson, told students: “What you’ve shown as creative people is that you don’t just turn up to a shoot and make it up – you’ve shown the journey to get there.”

The students’ work is featured on Goldwell’s youtube channel and will be featured as part of Creative Head Magazine’s newly launched app.

The students’ collection can be viewed on Goldwell’s website and will be preserved in the brand’s archive.
