“This collection is a true collaboration of skills, personalities and artists of the Smartest73 Artistic Team and photographer Jamie Blanshard. The vision, born from the concept of Japanese street culture fused with manga influences, was a collective decision to explore. We all share a passion and fascination for the history behind this culture, so all relished the opportunity to create our interpretation of it. Originally shot in colour, our Synergy collection was changed to black and white to give a darker, moodier atmosphere. Contrasting darks to ultra lights enhance the strong undone textures of big, soft curls, brushed out dishevelled waves to the clean, blunt lines and smooth shine.
