Autumn/winter 2012 is about full-bodied, understated glamour. With the styles flowing from sleek to windswept, the look is one of subtle femininity and ethereal minimalism. Ralph Lauren, Dior and Jil Sander had long locks worn neat and silken, with heavy partings for a polished feel; whilst Vera Wang, Rodarte and Chloe wore natural, languid styles with a vintage touch in global catwalks. Bold fringes are the newest accessory, creating a statement of youth, power and fun.

The Cision Hair Educational Soiree was a tantalizing event of colour, glamour and tutelage.  Cision released their autumn/winter colour palette showcasing the favourite trends for the season and performed their talents for a loving crowd of those in the industry.

Cision Hair used inspired catwalk looks, which were crafted to wear everyday.  Enticing colour cocktails were presented with the latest trends, creating a seminar that was both educational and inspiring. The attendees learnt techniques to hone their crafts and gained valuable experience and practical tips.

The hosts were Cision’s own Yasmine Harland and Nigel Griffin, with special guest Jason Sorbie, Cision’s premier colourist who specializes in balayage.

Yasmine is the winner and multiple time finalist of the prestigious WA Hairdresser of the Year Award, a cutting and styling expert, an experienced platform and editorial artist with numerous Scoop Magazine covers as well as features within Harpers Bazaar and STM. Yasmine was a Director of hair for Perth Fashion Week as well as Australian Fashion Week  (Sydney).

Nigel is an expert in colour and had worked for such leading icons as Vidal Sassoon, Beverly Cobella and Renya Xydis. Nigel has co-directed numerous fashion shows including Perth Fashion Week and Australian Fashion Week (Sydney). Nigel has been a hairdresser to the stars, including Jennifer Hawkins and Nicole Kidman

Jason has won the esteemed IHS Cut and Colour Award ten times, worked as a stylist within the movie industry, and travelled internationally for work. Jason has worked on fashion shows, the Melbourne Cup (2011), backstage at the Samantha Win Bridal Show and educates others in the technical aspects of colour and styling.

With Melbourne Cup and the Summer party season on our doorstep, it’s time to talk fashion.

Kate, from the Sheer team and Sana boutique in St Quentin’s Ave, Claremont says

“With long, flowing neutral tones and liquid layers of silk this season definitely has the relaxed attitude of boho with the simple polish of true glamour. ”

Hot new names to look out for include Briony Marsh (VIC) and Lisa Brown (QLD)

Accessories stand out with chunky wrist cuffs, headbands adorned with feathers, charms and over sized jewels. Combine these statement pieces with soft “glamazon” waves or an exaggerated version of traditional styles like the french roll, with heaps of body and a few fly-aways.

For the boys it’s all about a well cut suit in a light or neutral tone and a clean cut ‘bond-esque’ attitude.

See Kaz at Brave New World in William St Northbridge to get the “other half” looking good!! She even has an awesome range of original handmade ties made from exquisite fabrics!
