Paintbox
Text: Billy Bride
I have found a new love. Unlikely as it would seem, in this dismal era of ubiquitous brunette Balayage – I had feared I was doomed to drift in an anchor-less eternity of Wasson wannabes, only to wash-up on a nightmarish desert shore swathed by Kerr, Edwards, Diaz and the rest of their sun-kissed zombie army. But no, not me, not this summer! A new dawn has broken and the writing’s on the wall you tawny tressed tyrants! Your reign of terror has ended!
Think back to our fondest high school days and recall the outrageously awe-inspiring Fudge ‘Paintbox’ colour system – Joico’s polychromatic wonderland for those of us who’d like to look a little more Bowie and a little less Bo Derek (yawn!). A spectacular array of rainbow rocket-queen rinses that Mother Nature never intended. As seen on the runway at Proenza and Posen, and off-duty a la Dazed & Confused Fashion Editor Katie Shillingford. Think Kate’s pillow-pink, Kurt’s roaring red, and Ga-ga’s visionary violet. A welcome wind of change.
