Alchemy, our latest collection

Howdy, Wow what a month. We have shot a collection of 5 models and called it 'Alchemy', it's a project that we will do every year and it's a way to bring together our collective ideas and work together. Its an amazing journey where we create a single idea and then that grows into storyboards which include makeup ideas, clothes and the general mood/direction we are going for. To collaborate with the team is certainly a high point of my time at killer.

We also had the privilege of doing the hair at the opening show for the AUT fashion graduates. The brief was the make the hair seem like statues so we immediately started using powder, paints and sprays to mould the hair into shape.

We were then told we had to do 30 models in 2.5 hours so after much deliberation we set in motion a kind of production line of 5 stylists with Mimi's genius idea of Tempura flour mixed with water then painted over with face paint and voila, you got yourself an ancient, statuesque hairstyle that rocks, it was a boundary pusher but we got there.

Last but not least was our very own release of Alchemy, it was an evening where we, in conjunction with Davines put on a look and learn show for 60 or so hairdressers. We did 16 models in 4 different sections- collection, Editorial, Mens and street cast. This was to give an in depth look into Killerhairs Inspiration, Knowledge and passion that we have and a chance to share with anyone who wants to know what we are about.

We all had a great month creatively and we know that for anything you want to excell in, you must do the hard yards and we certainly worked hard but we love it. Oh and go the all blacks!
