The culture creators, trail blazers and time waivers. We’ve catapulted some of the world’s greatest icons into the future. Transformed, they remain timeless – their influence burning on, now and forever.
In celebration of the Australian Hair Fashion Award (AHFA)’s 30th anniversary, we tasked 16 of our industry’s most iconic talents – and former AHFA winners – to each create one look, channelling an icon of their choosing.
Here, we present: ICONS by Icons. Join us as we pay tribute.
“True icons are larger than life, unforgettable with an elegance that’s mesmerizingly timeless.”
