I believe that we are moving back to a phase of fun and interesting hair again in the ’20s, and it’s exciting watching those cycles repeat themselves, especially now that we are so well educated in the ever-evolving world of colour. Although this collection began as an ode to my love of the post-punk movement, it quickly became apparent that it was an outward display of how I’ve felt during the pandemic.
I wanted to use contrasting colours because I love the juxtaposition of two seemingly opposing colours sitting next to each other. I think it represents many things in our everyday lives and is very representative of the post-punk movement. Since we’ve been living with the pandemic, there are so many opposing energies that we’ve had to live with and try to find comfort in. The use of both fluid and structured colour techniques was also very intentional, firm lines and fluid movement mimic our lives now.
