Niamh Murphy joins the L’Oreal Professionnel team
By RMUK on July 24th, 2009
Niamh Murphy from the RMUK salon in Leeds joined the L’Oreal Professionnel team of talented young hairdressers to style the hair for the prestigious BA (Hons) Graduate Fashion Show 2009.
In 2001 L’Oreal Professionnel and the world famous Central Saint Martins College of Art and Design forged an exciting partnership to nurture cutting edge talent. The aim was to recognise and promote the way hair and fashion have been historically linked and to combine up and coming creative fashion talent with the hairdressing stars of tomorrow.
The L’Oreal Professionnel Portfolio team is made up of young hairdressers from around the country.
Vincent Mercier, Managing Director of L’Oreal Professionnel Products Division sums up the collaboration. “Hairstyles and hair colour say as much about you as the clothes you wear, therefore it is not only tremendously exciting, but absolutely vital for L’Oréal Professionnel to forge a relationship with one of the most important fashion schools in the world. This ongoing partnership merges the very latest in fashion talent with the creativity of young hairdressers – it is a unique and inspired collaboration”.
This view is echoed by Willie Walters, Course Director of BA Fashion at Central Saint Martins. “The free flow of ideas and creative energy is central to both industries. This collaboration is groundbreaking.”
This year’s panel of judges was designer Gareth Pugh, Vogue Fashion Features Director Harriet Quick, Sarah Mower from Style.com, designer Mark Fast and Paul Edmonds, celebrity hairstylist. Caryn Franklin hosted the prize giving presentations.
Designer Mark Fast presented 3rd prize to Dean Quinn (Womens wear)
Designer Peter Jensen presented 2nd prize to Luke Brooks (Fashion knitwear)
Monica Teodoro, Marketing Manager L’Oreal Professionnel UK & Ireland presented 1st Prize, the L’Oreal Professionnel Young Designer of the Year Award, to Marie Hill (Fashion Print).
