TONI&GUY Mainstage Catwalk Show

Toni & Guy Mainstage presented its latest collections to hairdressers from around the world at Copperbox in London’s Olympic Park. It's quite a festive event with about 6000 people who love hair and are all dressed up to the nines! The evening began with the Toni & Guy Awards, which recognises salons and individual hairdressers . Toni Mascolo, Christian Mascolo, James and Sacha Mascolo-Tarbuck introduced the new Breakthrough team, the Image Award winners and Entrepreneur of the Year. I was very excited to hear Academy Director – Bill Watson, Shanghai was one of the winners as we've worked on many fashion shows together.

Singer Ella Eyre (who also has amazing long curly locks) kicked off the evening with such hits as If I Go, Waiting All Night and Deeper. The epic catwalk show took place on a 50 meter catwalk. The show included looks from London Fashion Week including collections from Giles and Jean-Pierre Braganza.
