“This image of Lana Del Rey taken by Sean
and Seng in April 2012 was one of my first big
editorials. I remember feeling really nervous
as I’d not long finished assisting and had
been following the photographers’ work for
a long time. There was a luxurious, ’60s feel
to the story, so the prep required a lot of
work, a combination of Japanese padding,
extensions and lots of backcombing. It was
the start of our love for these shapes and was
the inspiration for Lana’s first European tour,
playing with elevated shapes, head pieces
and accessories. It was such a creative
moment and one that really kick-started my
career. I am so grateful still for all the training I
received when I was assisting Sam McKnight
and Eugene Souleiman.”

“This image for Missoni was really my big
break into the top end of fashion. It was shot in
September 2001 by Mert & Marcus, the model
was Gisele and the make-up artist was Charlotte
Tilbury. Even though this image is verging on
20 years old it still seems modern and ahead of
its time; the beachy texture and bleached ends
were a sign of things to come. I set the hair
using Bumble and bumble Surf Spray to give a
matt, dried out texture – that was also super-new
at the time and it’s become a staple today.”
