It may only be February, but that doesn’t mean I’m not already wishing the year away. April sees Salon Smart, Creative HEAD’s buzzing business-networking event, return to London for the sixth year – and I for one will be there with bells on! Although the thought of a three course dinner and top London hotel is enough to make me go weak at the knees, it’s the après-dinner session with hairdressing idol Andrew Collinge that ensured my seat was secured within hours of tickets going on sale. Andrew Collinge is one of Britain’s most iconic hairdressers. Starting out on an apprenticeship with his father Peter Collinge OBE, Andrew joined the team at top Mayfair salon Michaeljohn. Since then, he’s built up an overwhelming CV, opened a luxury makeover studio in Harrods with his wife – make-up artist Liz Collinge, racked up awards, and opened The Andrew Collinge Graduates Salon in Liverpool. He may be enjoying an epic career, but Andrew still makes time for his peers. At Salon Smart, he’ll be taking to the stage, taking us through his incredible journey and creating some of his signature looks in front of our eyes – the perfect after-dinner treat! Sold!

Street-style photography has become a phenomenon, whether it’s blogs like The Sartorialist and Facehunter or the pages of fashion glossies such as Grazia and Elle, it’s a huge source of inspiration for trend forecasters, designers and hairstylists. The New York Times photographer Bill Cunningham was a pioneer of the trend and has been obsessively snapping the fashion elite and well-dressed average Joes for years. And like any major figure in fashion, he now has his own documentary, entitled Bill Cunningham New York.

Now in his eighties, Bill Cunningham still has an eye for fashion. “The best fashion show is definitely on the street, always has been and always will be,” he said. Anna Wintour once said: “We always dress for Bill.”

The hype around the film has travelled to these shores and one year after its US release, selected cinemas across the UK will be screening the film during February and March.
