– Kevin Murphy
Bang Bang Collection
BANG BANG COLOUR
Mastering simplicity was our approach with this year’s colour techniques. We wanted to make bold statements with looks that pushed the envelope effortlessly while being completely wearable. Rich earth tones of Rose and Copper were melted together to highlight the unique texture of each model’s hair and create more dimension between light and shadow. We paired clever, understated techniques with creative colours inspired by the depths of nature and then, using that palette, created natural variations in multi-tonal saturation.BANG BANG CUT
Reflecting the attitude of an editorial-based brand, our BANG BANG haircuts represent aesthetics inspired mostly by ’90s street culture. Aware that we are entering a new decade, we looked back for inspiration from iconic fashion and movements throughout history. The cuts live somewhere between K-pop and Britpop, with fringes, longer sides and a Mod feeling. Each haircut has been created with the wearer in mind. The cuts are truly adaptable, genderless and unique, regardless of the length.BANG BANG STYLE
This year’s styling collection focuses on an obvious use of product — a reflection of the ’90s. We developed the techniques for each style being conscious of you as the stylist behind the chair working with each and every client in a timely manner. Let’s make 2020 all about your client while we at KEVIN.MURPHY make it all about you and increasing your skills and ability to navigate the ever-changing world of fashion.Colour
