Fantastic
Night at the Liverpool Urban Hair Show 2013
Photographs by Patrick
Trollope.
ON 4 July 2013, it was
not just the weather that was warm, but it was also hot on the
catwalk at Liverpool's 1st Liverpool Urban Hair Show. This event
was the brain child of Claire Namukolo Seddon, who is studying
Events Management at Liverpool Community College. Claire told us
that she has always been interested in fashion and wanted to put
her newly learned skills to the test, in style. Considering that
this was not a professional show and was aimed at raising funds
for the Liverpool One Foundation Charity, this would give many
of the so called professional shows a run for their money. The
models and guests not only had the fantastic surrounding of the
casino to enjoy, but also, as was the catwalk, placed in the bar
area, overlooking the Queens Dock, Liverpool so gave the models
a fantastic backdrop to show off both their clothes and their
hair styles. The models, hair had been styled by local hair
dressing students from the Wirral Metropolitan College, giving
them a way to further their skills and experience in practical
working environments. Also, they got the chance to be the first
to get their hands on the title of LUHS Stylist of the year
2013. Clothes were provided by Jasmin Kevin Hilton t-shirts, and
Jasmin T-Sh!t with designs by Clarke, 18 forever and Sine
Mission Kevin Hilton. Entertainment was provided throughout the
night, between the catwalk shows, with performances by local
talents from Society Girls, Tres, and Beauty to Little and
Often. It was funny to see the shocked faces of some of the
males when the Burlesque Society Girls show took to the catwalk!
The atmosphere was fantastic and very friendly. MC Miles Dixon,
who is the Casino's head of PR said:- "This was a very
successful night for all of us and I think all who attended it
really enjoyed it. I am glad Claire came to us to put this event
on." Also Liverpool Foundation Charity representative -
Cath Risebrough echoed this saying:- "We would like to
thank all of the audience and also those putting on this
fantastic event for helping us to raise funds for our charity.
This is a fantastic night and we have fully enjoyed the
activities and shows on offer."
So will this return in 2014?
We hope so and we also hope it will stay the same, as it was a
refreshing change to many of the over hyped events of late. If
