UK based firm Five point alliance recently shared the second groundbreaking collection from the Denman Global Collective. The aim of this collective is to showcase a diverse use of texture and movement inspired by the global trends. Artists from Japan, Philippines, Austria, USA, and the UK contributed in this project. They used a wide range of ethnic hair types to show different forms of texture and styles.
Keeping up in the spirit of the season, minimal styling and nude, elegant makeup tones. The team independently curated each look with texture at the focal point. Each style represents unique global trends and reflects collective creativity and effort. The stylists on this team included Georgia Bell and Alan Beak from the UK, Nobu from Japan, Amanda Elaine Killen from the USA, Antonio Papa from Philippines, and Bertram Kainzner from Austria.
Photographers from around the world took part in projecting the images. They all came together to execute the photography under the creative direction of Liam Oakes. Additionally, he represented the UK, while Raimo Rumpler was from Austria, Yusuke Matsuyama from Japan, Nijah Stevens from USA, and Richard Thomas “Dix” Perez from Philippines.
Here’s a deep dive into individual looks of the Global Movement, the hairstyles inspired by global textures!
Hair by Alan Beak
Alan Beak curated a classic short, back and sides graduated haircut with added texture through the top. He blow-dried the hair using a Denman Skeleton Vent brush to add volume. Using a fantail comb and holding paste, Beak concluded the look. Thanks to the bold styling, the hairstyle gets a life of its own, demanding to be seen!
Hair by Amanda Elaine Killen
Amanda Killen curated a look that played with natural hair texture. Killen styled the natural textured hair with a blunt cut bob-shape. Soft, universally coloured layers shined bright with a warm auburn. Killen then proceeded to blow-dry and smoothen the side section with a Head Hugger and finally pinned it into curls. Further, a little softness was added using a light curl enhancer that helped portray movement of the hair.
Hair by Georgia Bell
Georgia Bell created a face-framing Page Boy haircut. Using a Skeleton Vent brush and small Head-Hugger, Bell textured the gold under coloured hair. A loose hold hairspray was used to give definition. The soft, feminine but bold look is hard to miss.
Hair by Antonio Papa
Antonio Papa curated a soft wavy hairstyle that reminds of the Pochahontas in the wind. Papa blow dried the long-soft layers with a Denman Power Paddle to give volume and movement. Finally, Papa ended with adding soft waves using a larger Head Hugger, and loosening them with the fingers for a soft result. The look inspired gentleness.
Hair by Bertram Kainzner
Bertram Kainzner brought to life a textured pixie cut. Kainzner created the pixie cut with a long fringe, further, he lightened it with a high-lift tint and blow-dried it using a Denman D3 for lift at the crown. The cut also added to the texture of the style and was finished with a Skeleton Vent brush and light wax.
Hair by Nobu
Nobu created a loose cut graduated bob highlighted with ash-toned flashes. Nobu lightly blow-dried the hair with a Denman D3 and combed over by round bristle brush to give volume and texture.
The Global Collective was a fresh representation of hair styling. The world awaits more such inspiring collections and styles in the future.
