A colourful, creative collection to make your mouth water and summon nostalgic feelings of childhood proved the winning collection for the illustrious title of WA/NT Hairdresser of the Year at the Australian Hair Fashion Awards (AHFAs). CAKE by Stephanie Bellairs of Cabello by Stephanie Bellairs was this winning collection.
The playful group of images utilises creative techniques reminiscent of youth and life’s sweetest things. Made to help the viewer “unleash your inner child”, as Stephanie wrote on social media, references include styles that evoke kindergarten papier-mâché skills, finger painting, fairy floss, gumballs and “kindergarten cuts”.
This is all created with a wealth of rainbow hues in hair and fashion styling, artistic beauty choices, accessories as hair fabric and diverse cuts, styles and braided details. With creative and unique materials, the images are made to be reminiscent of child-like works of art, dually inspiring and delighting.
Stephanie was assisted by her salon team, with photography by David Mannah, makeup by Pablo Morgade and fashion styling by Hugh William Stewart and Aubree Smith.
Grab a spoon and go to back to pre-K with this literally delicious imagery.
