Schwarzkopf Professional Essential Looks 1:2024 gave us the theme of community and a sense of belonging with The Optimists collection. As always, a catwalk and a salon version of each look is shared…
Who are optimists?
The Optimists wear their mood on their sleeve. They embrace nostalgic patterns, colours and silhouettes that hark back to the moments and memories in the past that we cherish. What’s created is a stylistic approach to welfare and hopefulness. This tribe’s profound awareness of social and environmental consciousness is reflected both in their choices of what to wear, but also in how to wear it. Re-used, relived-in and revived.
Breaking it down
Lesley Jennison is the colour creator for Schwarzkopf Professional. She explains; “You need to be able to see the finished look in your mind before you start. Such as where the lightness will be concentrated and where the negative spaces will help create the depth.”
For a ‘catwalk’ look, heavy painting techniques bring defined depth for a look that is anything but subtle. For the salon you can translate this into an effortless low-commitment and natural-look. A lived in blonde look, with darker roots.
