Stage | AW10 | Academy Collection | Seminar 

Stage | the new Autumn Winter 2010 Collection by Sassoon Academy sees a subversive interpretation of the Sassoon house codes.
This season the strength of the Sassoon technique is used to build a criss-cross framework of horizontal and vertical channel cut lines that become invisible as long panels of hair cover short. The couture craftsmanship of this technique can support any kind of tactile styling says Mark Hayes, International Creative Director, the innovative texture it creates can be exaggerated or undone, but always with complete control. Sharp lines are shrugged off in favour of a more jejeune approach.
Colour glows from within the hair rather than standing out starkly on the surface and as the hair moves the irreverent hues punch through. Were using really strong colours that have a punk connotation but in a chic, crafted way punk plus couture equals punkature, says Peter Dawson, European Colour Director.
Monochrome hair flashes kingfisher blue or flamingo pink, aquamarine goes ultra violet cutting a dash has never been so crucial.
