Essensuals Evolution – Stephen Fordham

Hair Collection · 2006

Essensuals Evolution – Stephen Fordham is a study in cool platinum blonde. The first look is liquid-smooth and precise – a long, one-length cut with a razor-sharp side-swept fringe sweeping across the face – answered by a choppy, tousled platinum shag, all piecey texture and soft volume. Sheer black styling and clean studio light keep the focus on the cut and the colour: refined, modern and unmistakably editorial.

It is a very 2006 idea of polish. That year salon work paired liquid-smooth, poker-straight finishes and razored side-swept fringes with the choppy, textured shag – sharp colour and glossy surfaces on one hand, deliberate mess on the other. Stephen Fordham’s Essensuals (Toni & Guy) collection sits right at that meeting point, in ice-cool platinum.
