Killer Hair Editorials in Remix Magazine

The last two issues of Remix Magazine has featured work from Killer Hair, but this latest 15th Birthday issue has really taken it to the next level.

Ella did the hair for a 'Pin-up' themed shoot, with the lovely Tom assisting and since she loves everything from the 40s and 50s, it was a great opportunity for her to show her vintage hair skills. One of the images was also selected for the cover- the first Killer Hair magazine cover!

Model- Rosie @ Nova Models

There were three models that needed two looks each. It was shot by Hayley Bayliffe and styled by Remix's Sophie Donovan. Hayley had this to say about the shoot-

"The shoot was inspired by old-fashioned pin-up icons and posters, adding a more modern fashion element to compliment the retro 'sexy' feel of the shoot."


Here is the full editorial -

Ella took inspiration for the hair from pin-up artist Gil Elvgren's paintings, but with a few modern twists. Curls and victory rolls were a must with a bit of rockabilly thrown in for good measure with the picture of Rosie in the headscarf and barrel curl.

 Paintings by Gil Elvgren- he is considered the greatest pin-up artist in the history of American illustration. 

Steven and Mimi also did a editorial shoot with photographer Jessica Sim. We have worked with Jessica a few times now- she shot our 'Alchemy' collection last year and was also the photographer for the Urbis Magazine Editorial shoot Steven and Ella did earlier in the year.
We asked Jessica to give us a few sentences about the most recent one in Remix, as she used such a new lighting technique. This is what she said-


 "This shoot with the ever so lovely Kelvin from Clyne was lit using long exposures and I hand painted her with a small torch, moving the torch around her to highlight certain areas and create a moody, haunting vibe.


 I was inspired by one of my favourite photographers, Paolo Roversi who uses similar techniques. It was my first go trying this, and it was a lot if fun, but hard work for Kelvin sitting still for 30 seconds - its not easy!!"

 Photographer- Jessica Sim

Fashion- Hannah Lee-Turner

Hair- Steven and Mimi @ Killer Hair

Makeup- Stacey Lee Ghin using Maybelline New York

Model- Kelvin @ CLYNE

Photographer's Assistant- Karen Ishiguro

Hair Assistant- Majid @ Killer Hair

Steven and Mimi did some wicked hair- they really pushed it to the limit! When they met the model, Kelvin, she had so much lovely hair and so they decided they wanted to go big! The styles are not so much wearable but a modern and ladylike fantasy.
It was a long day but the shots are so awesome and different- it also gave our new Saturday assistant Majid his first experience on a editorial shoot.


Also featured in the latest Remix is our new colour technique, Flamboyage. We having been doing so much Flamboyage since it was released and Stylist and Clients alike have been loving the result!

All in all, it has been an exciting couple of months! We already have another shoot for Remix in the next week and hope to have more. We love working in the salon and the time we have with our clients, but it is wonderful to have opportunities to get creative on a shoot and have our work in a magazine.
