Creative HEAD September 2017

For
ART’S
sake
Emmanuel Esteban
CREATIVE HEAD EDUCATION took London to art school with
its first ever live event. Artworld, in partnership with Revlon
Professional, explored the status of the art of hairdressing.
Hosted by Creative HEAD publisher Catherine Handcock, a
panel of experts revealed works they felt an affinity with and
which were to be used as inspiration for hair crafted live on
stage by the Revlon Professional session team. Art critic Doris
Lockhart Saatchi selected The Only Way is Up by Damien
Hirst, which inspired Emmanuel Esteban from Anne Veck
Salons to use hidden tubing to pipe smoke from a model’s head
to mesmerising effect. John Vial, global influencer for Revlon
Professional, chose architect Zaha Hadid’s Heydar Aliyev
Centre in Azerbaijan for Carl Brown of Russell and Brown’s
Vintage Salon to blend vintage setting and bulking techniques
with sweeping lines. Julie Verhoeven of Central Saint Martins
selected Niki de Saint Phalle’s Hon, which Ceri Cushen of
Metropolis took as the base for a gravity-defying up-do. Finally,
Tony Glenville, creative director at the London College of
Fashion, selected his own fashion sketches for Sarah Necia
Wood of Necia’s Hairstyling to interpret. The 150 guests took
home a packed goodie bag courtesy of Revlon Professionals and
American Crew. A truly amazing experience.
