Kobi Bokshish’s CAGED collection was titled and created to represent the feeling of having his creativity suppressed through the pandemic, with this collection freeing that artistry. The collection was recently nominated for the title of Australian Hairdresser of the Year at the Australian Hair Fashion Awards.
Embellishing the looks with flowers and creative hair elements, Kobi deliberately chose to use symbolic references of positivity to combat that feeling of artistic suppression. Offering an aquatic quality where shapes, hues and forms artistically resemble marine life, and the collection seems set underwater, the images impressively didn’t necessitate post-production.
“We used microfibres lights to paint the models in order to get the incredible backdrop,” Kobi explained on social media.
Vivid fluorescent and bright hair hues, soft textures, edgy fashion styling that continued the nautical theme with net-based pieces and unique accessories and textiles used to transform the very concept and tapestry of hair as a fabric, all combined to achieve this striking and ethereal collection.
The dream team consisted of photography by David Mannah, makeup by Mikele Simone, styling by Sheldon Riley and Lucy Sylvester, with Mel Bel and Elle Coco working on hair and colour. Kobi is renowned for his salon Intershape Hair and ambassadorships and partnerships, where brands such as Matrix, Amazing Hair Australia, Excellent Edges and ECOHEADS Australia contributed to this alluring collection in hair products and colour, hair extensions, scissors and tools and more.
