“A futuristic post-apocalyptic vision of our worlds created with stunning colour,
intricate placement, and dramatic shape.
Bold, sharp, contrasting lines and disconnected cuts
are complimented my soft pastel shades and subtle panels and blends.
The most simple, classic shape and movement are dramatised
with definitive technique and striking
use of tone and contrast.
APEX is the strength, attitude and tenacity
needed for a post-artificial intelligence uprising.” – Steven Smart

A study of nature’s most electric colour moments.
Electric Earth explores the surreal colours found
across the earth’s landscapes – neon sunsets,
painted deserts and mineral-rich mountains,
glowing sea life, and
intensely pigmented flowers.
The Luminous moments are translated
into vivid colour and
layered pigment, contrasted
with a sleek polished finish…..

showing how the colour catches the light and moves with the hair,
creating a sense of gentle flow, highlighting the subtle movement,

Obsidian is Afro texture at its most powerful
dense, rich, unapologetic.
CUTS Hair becomes sculpture in bold geometry,
carved shapes, decisive lines.
Not styled, cut. Presence over softness.
This is hair forged by heat, history,
and resilience architectural afros, strong crops, commanding silhouettes.
Fashion follows in black on black matte against gloss,
armour like tailoring, modern royalty energy.
Make-up is graphic and intentional polished skin,
sharp liner, shadow and light. Beauty as structure.

Obsidian is Afro futurism.
Dark elegance.
Unfiltered identity.
Hair, fashion, and beauty with authority.

“Jigsaw” is a collection inspired by breaking down hair textures
and styles to rebuild them into bold, distorted shapes.
The look is dark, dramatic, and robotic,
with models styled like wind-up dolls pieced together like a jigsaw puzzle.

the project combines reconstructed fashion and hair design while celebrating individuality
and punk influences from London and New York City.
