CHRIS FOSTER Multi-award winning hairdresser Chris Foster of the Foss Academy hosted a workshop for ClubStar at the Wella World Studio on the 13th February. Master barber Chris is renowned for pushing boundaries in conventional barbering and has translated these skills into a great educational programme. All the attendees brought their own models with them. The idea behind the workshop was targeted learning so the ClubStar members learnt how to improve in areas where they struggled. Chris covered a variety of foundation barbering techniques, including how to use clippers, how to texturise with razors, how to texturise short haircuts and how to cut long hair within a masculine framework. He also taught them how to support shape within a cut, as well as dealing with any issues they had with men’s hairdressing. Ellis Lambert from Michelle Griffin was full of praise; The workshop was absolutely brilliant. Chris’s passion for mens hairdressing is so inspiring. He even took time to work with us on a 1-2-1 basis in order to conquer any challenges we faced in the world of barbering”. “They’re a great bunch of people to work with”, says Chris. The workshop was so successful that Ellenora Dean, one of the ClubStar Art Team members, even went on to assist Chris at London Fashion Week. She said “I had an amazing time and I really appreciate it!”. MAHOGANY Mahogany’s International Creative Director Colin Greaney and Creative Director Karen Hood held a cutting workshop at the Schwarzkopf Professional Ask Academy on Monday 20th February for twelve ClubStar members. All the attendees brought along with them a model or head block to experiment with. The morning saw Colin and Karen create looks from the latest Mahogany collection, called Duality. They were shown a DVD along with a live demonstration of cutting and colour techniques. The students then had the opportunity to recreate the looks under the watchful eyes of the Mahogany duo! Colin and Karen really enjoyed working with ClubStar; Colin commented “The Mahogany/ClubStar Workshop always gives me and my Creative Team a great sense of satisfaction as the ClubStar members are always bursting with enthusiasm”. Danielle Smith and Anthony Rawlings were two of the ClubStar members who attended the event. They described the workshop as “well presented and the concept was great”. They said they had taken the ideas back with them and tried them out at their salon. They were transfixed by the avant garde models, which was the highlight of the event for them. They commented “The colouring was great too and Colin kept the audience engaged because of his bubbly personality and interesting techniques”. Mahogany has a great reputation for education, as Colin says: “We believe that education is paramount for successful growth, both commercially and creatively”. ClubStar membership is just £51.00.

Raymond Bird Shoots for Sophie Morter ClubStar member Sophie Morter from Billi Currie, one of London’s most popular boutique salons, won a shoot with former hairdresser and master photographer, Raymond Bird in the annual Terry Calvert Creative ClubStar Competition at Salon International 2011. As runner up, Sophie was awarded a Redken Product Styling Kit and GHD Styler Kit along with the photo shoot opportunity with Fellowship photographer and magazine publisher Raymond Bird. Raymond has enjoyed a long career in hairdressing, with highlights including managing Michael Cornell hairdressing in Mayfair in the 1960s and inventing and developing products for L’Oréal in the 1980s. Raymond ‘retired’ from the chair and returned to his first love, photography - he had spent his time at school locked in the dark room developing images. He began taking photos for the Fellowship and this year finds him shooting his first ‘session’ work for them, including the ClubStar Art Team images and this shoot with Sophie. Of Sophie, Raymond says: “She prepared fantastically. My brief was complete as she sent me mood boards and pictures of the models well in advance. It was only her debut shoot but it was all over in 3 hours, purely down to her great planning”. Sophie took creative direction in a fashionable men’s hair shoot. The theme of the shoot was a fusion of ‘Geek Chic with Rock & Roll.’ While both male models had a similar style and look (Rock & Roll chiseled features and tattoos), their personalities contrasted - one was fun and flirty, the other sombre and sullen. Taking this into consideration, Sophie constructed similar haircuts but with contrasting colours. By using a bright white colorama and shooting the images in high contrast, the detail in the hair as well as the models’ tattoos came to life. The styling was inspired by the renowned model David Gandy, who shoots with Dolce & Gabanna. Sophie was also inspired by the sharp tailoring of Tom Ford fused with the distressed, underground feel of the ‘Unconditional’ brand. Sophie adores fashion and follows it religiously. “Geek-Chic was a huge fashion-statement last year and continues to be an on-going, current trend with celebrities and the public. I wanted to re-create the look, not only with hair but also with the clothes and accessories.” Sophie added ‘geek chic’ glasses and kept the clothes quite simple by accessorising a simple white vest with braces. Throughout Sophie used two complementing models to display variations on a similar theme, with a strong emphasis on contrast and similarity. Both models had fantastic chemistry, which allowed them to feed off each other’s status perfectly – as seen in the photographs. FM 19
