A finale unlike any before it, the AAFW closing show made history with 90 models, 16 designers and perhaps one of the most diverse castings fashion has seen, globally.

And who better to meet the brief of 90 individual hair looks than leading lady, Di Gorgievski and Official Haircare Partner, Redken.

“The purpose as Hair Director tonight is to really embrace diversity and highlight the texture defining each individual … this involves finishing each talent with considered application of heat styling, prep and styling products,” starts Di.

A backstage icon across the globe, Redken has essentially been pushing for greater diversity since, well … the very beginning. One of the few portfolios that in itself promotes full inclusivity with formulas that define curl, defy gravity, push volume and amplify shine like no other.

THE JOURNAL was invited backstage exclusively to capture the energy and execution defining what proved to be the week’s standout show.
