Review:

Sassoon's latest collection, Laser, is hyper-real graphic glamour inspired by the airbrushed cyber-vixens of Philip Castle and Michael English, England's post-pop pioneers, and the erotic flamboyance of fashion designer Antony Price.

Cuts re-visit the Firefly and Box Bob classic Sassoon shapes that dominated hair design in the mid 1970s. Heavy panels of hair in triangular shaped sections are combined with the precision technique of modern undercutting to create a sense of exaggerated depth and surface shine.

Colours are super-painted in laser lines to accentuate the detail of the cuts using a stippled brushwork technique that diffuses pixels of luminescent tone from ulta-violet to flame and smoky blue to searing cerise. Super paint creates a super-shine that is almost holographic in its effect.
