MyHairDressers.com attended the final year show of Southampton Solent University on June 1st to record a short video of the preparation and catwalk show in London's East End.

Sponsored by Illamasqua and attended by Creative Director Alex Box and Joint MDs Julian Kynaston and Joseph Corre, the show consisted of the work of graduating students presenting collections utilising a range of fabric types and incorporating diverse themes from wearable architecture – using riveted metal and wood – to collections inspired by abstract expressionism and the destructive power of water. The event showcased the work of students on the BA (hons) Fashion, BA (hons) Make-up & Hair Design, BA (hons) Fashion Styling.

The show was presented by Free Range, now in it's 11th Year of bringing together the best Final Year shows from Universities and colleges across the UK over the course of a month at London's Old Truman Brewery, one of the East End's largest culture and arts centres.

Andrew Gilbert, Creative Director of MyHairDressers.com said, "MyHairDressers.com is rooted in education and is committed to supporting education at every level within the creative industries. It's always a privilege to film the new generation of talent and the high quality of work and presentation I always see at Final Year shows and the passion and creativity behind the Fashion, Make-Up and Hair is always inspiring."
