The Psionics Hair Show goes down with a bang!

Set against the stunning backdrop of the Café de Paris in London, the show which took place on 5th November was a truly spectacular event. Toni & Guy Creative Directors George Akkad and Andrew Thomas Corbett excelled themselves with their stylistic creations that really expressed the concept of Psionics.

Psionics, the title and concept of the show, literally translates as creating other worldly
phenomena with one’s own mind. This manifests into the work ethic of the hair and clothes producing a show that is ethereal, bold and imaginative.

20 models walked the catwalk in a range of editorial and avant garde looks styled by
STYLECREATIVE and featuring designs from Kate Williams, Gemma Goldstone, Ara Jo and VictoriaClare and shoes from Iron Fist.

The Psionics Hair Show really was the visual feast promised!
 

After the stunning catwalk shows, DJ JoJo took to the decks to keep everyone dancing well into
the night while the champagne was flowing.

Who knows what we can expect from George and Andrew next year given that Psionics this year simply blew everyone away!
