Come behind the scenes with @hookerandyoung ’s latest shoot 🎞️ Set inside Newcastle Civic Centre, a space that feels almost frozen in time, The Static Room unfolds with a quiet tension, where precision meets stillness and 60s modernism is reimagined. There’s a subtle unease running through it. Think Stanley Kubrick symmetry and The Stepford Wives polish, balanced with softness, texture and movement. Sculptural shapes are carefully controlled, yet never rigid. Using @lorealpro colour, hair is precise but still alive, with softened lines and modern texture bringing a sense of freedom to the finish. Shot across a location that feels untouched, every detail, from hair to styling to make-up, carries that refined late-60s influence, creating a world of intentional stillness. 🎥 Discover more in the April issue of Creative HEAD Hair: @hookerandyoung @hookergaz @mickyjoeyoung using @lorealpro Hair Team: @jonathanturnerhair @sophielenton20 @millienesbitthair @ghbhair_ Fashion: Jonathan Turner Make-up: Kirsten Baillie Photography: @myhairphotography #CreativeHEAD #HookerAndYoung #LOrealPro #EditorialHair #BehindTheScenes #HairCollection

LOST BETWEEN LINES AND SILENCE 🪡 Introducing The Static Room, a cinematic new collection from @hookerandyoung where precision meets stillness, and 60s modernism is reimagined through a lens of controlled tension and quiet glamour. ✨ Shot across two rooms, the story moves between polish and softness, structure and release – a study in contrast, shape and mood. With @lorealpro colour, the collection marks a new creative chapter, elevating tone, texture and technical craft through a refined colour direction. 🎨 As Monica Teodoro (@mteodoromc ), General Manager of Education and Professional Development at L’Oréal Professionnel Paris, says: "Artistry and education are at the heart of our partnership with Hooker & Young, designed to inspire and elevate the professional community." 🎬 Explore the interactive April issue to step inside and discover the story behind the looks.

FREEDOM A Celebration of the Supermodel Era The 1990s defined a cultural shift in fashion - a time when the runway was a stage, designers were visionaries, and models became global icons. It was the era of Versace glamour, Freedom! ‘90 anthems, and the rise of women who transformed beauty into power. FREEDOM is a celebration of an era when style was bold, attitude was everything, and fashion truly ruled the world.
