Saks A Team 2016 final shows
We love Saks A Team! Our year-long training initiative where #Saks_UK stylists get to head to the bright lights to push their boundaries, being mentored by our creative director, Luke Pluckrose and our Saks Art Team.
After a tough interview process a handful of stylists are chosen to join the programme. 2016’s A Team received a special brief – to present two final hair collections at our Saks Gathering at the Hilton Metropole on Edgeware Road recently.
Wearable Hair
Luke Pluckrose says: “2016 A Team rose to the very steep challenge to put together two diverse collections. Wearable Hair and Couture Princesses.”
Carly, Hollie and Amy
Luke continues: “Our A Team programme is proof that the sky’s the limit for our creative stylists. Two previous A-Teamers have become fully-fledged members of the Saks Art Team in the last 12 months. Sarah Clarke-Lees of Saks Lytham is now educating our network and represent Saks session-styling. It was great to involve Saks Makeup Artists on these shows as well.”
Sarah Clarke-Lees says: “Couture Princesses was all about moulded wigs blended onto faces – bringing childhood memories to the modern day with sleek colourful catwalks. Wearable hair? Clothing hand-made from hair! Avant garde meets everyday fashions, with “materials” ranging from delicate lace to pimped out fur, a sports luxe jacket and apres ski jumper dress – crazy!”
