Madeleine Wins National Creative Colourist Award & SA Hairdresser of the Year title at the 2012 Australian Hair Fashion Awards!

13 APRIL 2012, POSTED BY HEAD OFFICE

Hair Machine would like to congratulate Glenelg stylist and team trainer, Madeleine on receiving the National Creative Colourist award & South Australian Hairdresser of the Year title at the 2012 Australian Hair Fashion Awards.

The awards were presented at a ceremony held in the prestigious Sydney Town Hall held at the beginning of the month.

Madeleine said she was feeling “a bit nervous about the whole evening,” being her first competition since moving to Australia in 2008.

The winning collection is called ‘La Propagande des Femme’ meaning Female propaganda.

Her vision was to “mix the bold and abstract styles, which portray the deliberate nature of propaganda, with femininity represented by the use of colour and the porcelain-like skin of the models”.

Madeleine’s fashion trend predictions for the 2012 autumn/winter season include “heavy fringes, sleek ponytails and retro hairstyles.

Dip dye hair will be a continuing trend but this season is about bold and contrasting colours”.

As most of us are rugging up for winter, some of Adelaide’s aspiring models were dressing down to their cosies’ last Friday, in an attempt to showcase their talents as well as the stunning Swim Wear by local designer duo Ivana & Katerina.

Hair Machine stylists from Burnside and North Adelaide salons were backstage and on hand at Heaven nightclub where the parade took place.

The girls styled the models with a simple off centre buns to compliment the patterns and frills on the swimsuits.

“We were after something girly but still with a touch of sophisticated glamour to match the swimsuits” Donna Rinaldo from North Adelaide said.

The Evenings events weren’t all about the styles on the catwalk, with all proceeds from the night going to the Hutt Street Homeless Shelter.

Nicole Abela from Hair Machine Burnside will be styling on the upcoming campaign shoot for Ivana & Katarina’s collection.
