Aveda Masterjam!

Going to the Aveda Masterjam was a real treat, not only was it at the luscious Old Billingsgate but it was an amazing night full of beauty, hair styling, fashion and YES oh YES Entertainment!!! We were firstly treated to a sneak preview of the new ranges coming out at the end of the year and their new make-up range. Topped up with drinks and canapes we then headed on down to the catwalk show (Like no other!!!) Why I hear you say?

One word Diversity! Yes we were all treated to a performance from Diversity, I didn't think it was fair that we only got to see it... so I whipped out my camera to record it for you lucky folks! Enjoy :)

The night continued with some great live styling from the Aveda team and a high fashion catwalk show! There is some serious talent within Aveda, I highly recommend you hot foot it down to an Aveda salon when considering your next chop! They are Hot Hot Hot!

Eco Photo Shoot - Bringing the generations together!

Striding Out are hosting their first ever ethical photo shoot experience in par with the Generations Together programme and Social Pioneer. The aim of the day will be to introduce under 25’s to over 50’s in a team bonding session, where the over 50’s will be styled by the under 25’s in preparation for a magazine style photo shoot. They have some great ethical brands which include Elysambre, Aveda, BoBelle,  Bourgeois Boheme, Clothes by Outsider, Bibico and Pinguish who will be contributing to the day with clothes and make-up. 

Striding out are excited to have stylist Lupe Castro in helping the under 25's style and dress and helping organise the photo shoot. Lupe Castro based in Hammersmith & Fulham is one of the UK’s most prolific stylists and fashion writers in the ethical fashion industry, working with celebrities, models and fashion magazines in creating stunning, individual looks coupled with the very cutting edge of ethical fashion and style.

There will also be talks given by the Eco companies involved on the day, which is a fantastic opportunity to learn more about ethical fashion!
