FOLK STYLE

It’s been a busy month for session stylist Robert Masciave, who styled the hair of up-and-coming folk singer Leigh De Vries for the Peoples Music Awards – the global website for unsigned artists. And it worked, as she won the dance-

electronic category she was competing in. Robert says: “The whole event was

crazy. I wanted to create a free moving hairstyle that was intricately styled with lots of texture, so I went with something a bit avant garde to match the energy of Leigh onstage.”

ALTERNATIVE STYLE

Edgy, risqué and experimental fashion was in abundance at Alternative Fashion Week – with hair to match. Catwalk stylist Robert Masciave, and some of the team from

his Kingston salon Metropolis, were responsible for the over- sized chignons seen on couture latex label Lady Lucie. HOB Salons Creative Team member Claire Dawson, along

with former F.A.M.E Team member Megan Zarrabi, also worked backstage at the iconic event held at Spitalfields, London, styling hair for the Sample Remix show. They accessorised the models’ fishtail plaits with metal head

pieces to create an alternative feel. Claire says: “Being involved in the show was fantastic and

allowed us to really draw on our creativity and take commercial looks that bit further. It’s great to see people pushing the boundaries of fashion and art, and the turn out was incredible.”
