NZ Master Stylist 2012
Unleash your creativity and talent and show it off to the industry. This latest competition gives you the chance to create a collection using a professional photographer, models, makeup and styling, without having to shell out for the process.
Plus the winner gets to see their creation on the cover of TRADE magazine and will travel to Sydney to work at Rosemount Australia Fashion Week 2012 as a stylist.
Who can enter?
NZ Master Stylist is open to any hairdresser employed in a New Zealand salon.
How to enter
Send us a concept of a cohesive hair collection that you would like to put into a photographic reality. As long as it's electronic, you can express your creative idea however you please – virtual/online mood boards, PowerPoint presentation, concept file. Just provide us with comprehensive detail of your concept.
We are looking for all of the following:
• A progressive commercial cut and colour
• An editorial look
• A fashion week runway look
This is not a photographic competition, we are looking for a concept you’d like to turn into a photographic collection.
Email the registration form and concept to nzmasterstylist@xtra.co.nz.
