In 2023, I had the opportunity to work on our school’s fashion show, SMCL23, where I was responsible for developing the hair and makeup concepts for approximately 20 models. Working alongside a team of three, I collaborated closely with the student hairstylists at our school’s hairdressing program to bring each look to life. Given the diverse backgrounds of our models, it was essential to ensure that the hair and makeup designs complemented each individual’s unique features. I curated inspiration images tailored to various skin tones, hair types, and personal styles, ensuring that every model felt confident and represented on the runway. This experience taught me the importance of clear communication, adaptability, and inclusivity when working in a creative team. It was incredibly rewarding to see our vision come together and to witness the models showcase their looks with confidence.
