The trend
Second-skin shades in fluid figure-hugging fabrics are an elegant alternative to colour-blocking trends. Think pale, peach softness, dusky rose and a hint of mink!

Richard Nicoll
A high gloss finish and apricot blush makes nude feel new! Pleats teamed with sports luxe jackets and sculptural collars kept this collection cool, not sickly sweet.
Versace
A collection completely fitting for the Versace woman who loves to show off her highly toned body. Slinky, wriggle-inducing lengths complete with texture and asymmetrical straps add interest to tonal ensembles

“Natural colours are really popular this season with a lot of clients requesting a blend of colours to create a natural and paler colour for a summer holiday hair vibe to their styles,” says Andy Smith, OSiS brand ambassador and artistic director of John Carne Hairdressing. “The best way to create these colours is by blending a combination of natural tones and mixing this with soft and subtle highlights, to create that natural feel. Blonde evokes glamour, youth, fun and a feelgood factor that they just don’t get with other tones. I’d recommend the Schwarzkopf Professional Blondme Shampoo and Conditioner to enhance the strawberry and lilac tones and to maintain that naturally enhanced glow. Blonde colours and tones are high-maintenance; they demand perfection and a skill level that’s beyond the norm.”
