Saks Art Team in June = MAJOR


Reading Time: 4 minutes

Busy times for Saks Art Team with FOUR great styling events back-to-back. Whistle-stop roundup of what Luke, Sarah, Shaun, Clare and Katy did right here.

LUKE PLUCKROSE AT GRADUATE FASHION WEEK

Saks UK has long been a champion of Graduate Fashion Week and there were two special reasons to celebrate this year.

The world’s leading event celebrating the creativity of students and graduates within fashion celebrated its 25th anniversary this month. Even better, our Creative Director Luke Pluckrose was chosen to head up the L’Oréal Professionnel Portfolio Session hair team for the second time.

Luke provided show-stopping hair looks to complement the creativity displayed by the UK’s budding fashion industry talent.

SPEAKING OF KIERA AND STEPHANIE… Both joined Saks A Team 2017 creative hair programme spending time being mentored by Saks Art Team. Within WEEKS they were both living the dream, assisting backstage at this super-inspiring event.

Kiera says: “My #SAKSGOALS were to get me a place on Saks A Team and commence my session-styling career. I love high-fashion and it doesn’t get better than being in the moment at London and Graduate Fashion Weeks. Luke, you need a backstage stylist you come to me!”

SARAH CLARKE LEES AT PRESTIGIOUS L’OREAL COLOUR TROPHY

Too proud of this one. Sarah Clarke-Lees of Saks Art Team was selected to be part of the #COLORFULHAIR Collective for L’Oreal Colour Trophy Grand Final, 5th June. This year’s collective show comprised of six leading female colourists from the UK’s top salons, engaged to bring the Colourful Hair range to life at the show.

Sarah says: “I was thrilled to be part of the team for the Colour Trophy Final! Working alongside super-talented females from our industry was a massive buzz. Putting together the amazing new colour range on stage in the show was the best feeling. I hope those attended feel as inspired by these colours as I am and empowered to translate the show into their salon and session work.”
