SAI+AI - CLOSE

Explore the similarities between different cultures

“Saitai is Japanese for marriage and this collection explores the closeness in culture of Asian and Irish history, art and folklore. Saitai – Close combines technical cutting and detailing with personality through defined shapes and natural textures. The colour acts to enhance rather than be the focus of the images and the make-up and styling reflect an individual with a personal connection to their culture.”

ACENTO

Acento, meaning ‘accent’ in Spanish, is all about creating looks with an accent of colour, texture or silhouette

“In Spanish we use accents to give meaning to words. I wanted to explore accents in hair – the accent could be created by a bold colour, or a contrasting texture and a strong silhouette. Once the initial idea was in my head I drew the ideas on paper and I started looking for different references in fashion, art, architecture and nature.”

LUCIDITE

Raw, unfiltered beauty takes centre stage

“I bas ed my collection ‘Lucidite’ around a feeling of understated beaut y and elegance. I wanted even my less com mercial looks to appear wearable and kept my clothes and make -up simplistic to bring out my version of auth entic beauty.”
