METALLICA COLLECTION
by Vivienne Mackinder
A soft and sensual collection celebrating classic
design with an edge, Metallica was inspired by
the Fendi Collection, where the hair color and
clothing fabric blended into the same color
palette (brilliantly designed by Sam McKnight
and team with Fendi).
I wanted to offer images that would inspire the
stylist and be an easy buy-in for clients. As much
as I love avant-garde hair, there is something
very fresh about simple, relaxed, and sensual
hair. I think the challenge with commercial
styling is not to be too common or boring. For
me, this is harder than designing an avant-garde
collection. Commercial style has boundaries,
while avant-garde is about breaking the rules.
At the end of the day, we must remind ourselves
that we are in the beauty business, where great
style completes who a person is and does not
compete with who they are.
