Byron Bay has become the ultimate destination for all things design, beauty, food and lifestyle. With a gorgeous backdrop and amazing new companies and designers – like Spell & The Gypsy Collective – it has put itself on the map for the world to see. It is no wonder then that ELEVEN Australia chose this as the backdrop for their latest collection, Byron. “Byron Bay has it all! It’s my home away from home.” Said three times Hairdresser of the Year and Co-Creative Director for ELEVEN Australia, Joey Scandizzo. “I love the laid-back vibe and the chance to sneak in a surf or two. It represents everything that makes me happy. We were able to enjoy nature and create beautiful hair and images that show off our incredible country and us as a brand.”
As a brand, ELEVEN Australia understands the importance of keeping their brands authenticity to where it evolved. “It’s important for us to keep the ‘Aussie’ in all our shoots, when we are shooting in the studio as well as on location. It’s the essence of the brand we want to bring to life. On behalf of the whole ELEVEN Australia team, we couldn’t be more proud to highlight our country’s natural beauty and also produce a hair campaign that looks uniquely Australian,” said Photographer of the Year and ELEVEN Australia Co-Creative Director, Andrew O’Toole.
