Ethereal hair was the show direction for Karla Špetić thanks to Revlon Professional and Ben Martin at Australian Fashion Week (AFW) 2025, when the hair brand returned as exclusive hair partner for the highlight runway event.
The Aeris Resort 2026 show was held on-site at Carriageworks, with Ben, the Creative Director of Melbourne’s XVI COLLECTIVE, leading the team in creating “a meditation on lightness, fluidity, and inner alignment”.




“Karla’s show is based on an earthy, more organic feeling to her clothing,” Ben said. “She wanted to carry that through to the hair. So, we worked with the models’ natural textures, enhancing curls with Revlon Professional UniqOne Curl Cream, and for straighter hair, using Eksperience Densi Pro to thicken the hair and add organic texture, giving the hair a kind of day-spa treatment.”




Other key products included the brand’s RE/START Repair Split End Sealing Drops, Style Masters Reset Dry Shampoo and Style Masters Photo Finisher Hairspray.


The collection itself evoked the concept of movement through different realms through a seamless blend of soft, fluid designs, with the hair made to evoke a dreamlike finish. Metallic blues, greys and blacks against soft whites and pinks, with galactic prints, trending sheer textures and lace and versatile silhouettes captured this versatile approach.
