THE MOST WANTED<br />
AND IT LIST FINALISTS<br />
THE SHORT LIST FOR the most exciting<br />
hairdressing event of the year has been<br />
unveiled, as finalists get ready to head<br />
to the Most Wanted and It List Grand<br />
Final at the stunning Guildhall in London<br />

Expert judges from the worlds of hair,<br />
beauty and fashion – including Vogue’s<br />

favourite entries from mounds of impressive<br />
portfolios. The following day, fresh judging<br />
panels that included Lee Stafford and talent<br />
agent Beverly Streeter, put their heads<br />
together at the ghd Studio in Soho to select<br />
the young talent that would become the next<br />
generation of It Listers.<br />

The bold and the beautiful<br />
from Graduate Fashion Week<br />
IT’S ALWAYS EXCITING to see the next big thing, and Graduate Fashion<br />
Week is the best place to do it. You’ll find up-and-coming designers offering<br />
visions of the future, alongside young session teams creating hair styles to<br />
complement the looks. At the Central Saint Martins BA show, the hair was<br />
as varied as the clothes, as the L’Oréal Professionnel Portfolio Session Team<br />
created tiny buns, wet looks and neon wigs. At Graduate Fashion Week, 25<br />
L’Oréal Professionnel Portfolio hairstylists worked tirelessly backstage to<br />
create slick, knotted catwalk looks for 22 shows, which featured the work of<br />
more than 1,000 young designers from colleges across the UK. With styling<br />
directed by Luke Pluckrose (Saks) and Ellenora Dean (Percy & Reed), the<br />
event culminated in an awards ceremony and runway show, attended by the<br />
likes of Henry Holland, Alesha Dixon and Hilary Alexander.<br />
