Melbourne Spring Fashion Week with Kevin Murphy
Named Hair Director of Melbourne Spring Fashion week for the seventh consecutive year, Kevin Murphy shares Melbourne’s unique fashion culture and designer inspirations that led him to create his runway looks for Fashion Week 2010!
Murphy and his team of stylists were responsible for the creation and execution of runways looks for the prestigious Designer Series shows for the week of August 30th-Sept 5th. The week of fashion featured the latest collections from Australia’s most esteemed designers including Arthur Galan AG, Aurelio Costarella, Akira, Collette Dinnigan, Bettina Liano, Gorman, Alice McCall and YeoJin Bae.
As Hair Director, Murphy’s role at the festival also extended to hosting a series of “Session Secrets” workshops at the KEVIN.MURPHY Fashion Week Salon at City Square. Anti.Gravity, Session.Spray, and Night.Rider were rockin’ the workshops and the runways with Murphy’s modern versions of 1970’s retro glamour. Soft waves and smooth, sleek, swept back shapes were this year’s signature style.

Electronic Mirrors Sell Lipstick and a Make-over?
Posted 08-31-2010 12:17 pm
Sydney Berry, Salon Services & Supplies President/Owner, shares her thoughts on the Wall Street Journal's: Electronic Mirrors sell Lipstick and a Makeover.
What happened? Did technology just take over human interaction?
Daily, I see and use the opportunities that exist with the digital age- but I am saddened by the continual erosion of moments of connections that are being shortchanged as an interruption to our lives, versus the reason for our existence- especially as “service providers” or “Daymakers,” as David Wagner so aptly designated our professional moments of connections.
It is in these moments that we will exchange our knowledge and give solutions to the problems/challenges that exist for our clients. The very thought of standing before an electronic mirror as “it” determines my best options of makeup, is appalling at the very least! How can the mirror ask the array of questions that would determine our makeup application appropriateness? Because if we knew as the client, wouldn’t we just purchase it? How would the one dimensional electronic mirror understand what kind of look I would wish to convey? What are the features I would wish to minimize or highlight? What amount of time do I set aside for my makeup application?
While I adore Facebook, it has become the new singular connector for friendship. While we used to connect with a friend via a call or in correspondence, we now tell the world how we are feeling by sharing, whether anyone truly wants to know! Remember a birthday when we were besieged by friendly phone calls or even better, a physical card? The human touch and contact is a very important aspect to our needs as a person. The moment that exists when someone shows empathy, concern and care of another is magic! It is transformational and it is real!
Please read the article and share your thoughts as to how we, in the professional industry, can transcend and build upon a time in our existence that allows us the gift of connection… via humans!
