Having already received their prize packs of a Joico styling kit, EVY Professional electrical kit, Excellent Edges full scissor kit and an Amazing Hair editorial styling kit, while in the HOT SHOTS House, not to mention mixing with iconic hairdressing greats both in real life and via zoom, the 2023 HOT SHOTS Team were ready for the creative aspect of their tenure. 

Culminating in an all-expenses paid photoshoot with world class photographer Andrew O'Toole and Kylie O'Toole, the team consisting of Anne Russell, Meghan King, Mikelah Jayde Riley, Paige Cameron spent a few precious days together once again to create sheer beauty in a collection that evolved through the team creative process before and during the shoot under the mentorship of Hair Director, Carolyn Gahan. 

BEAU MONDE

Each look was inspired by the fashionable elite in high society; the smart set. They are Beau Monde - Beautiful People. Taking advantage of the beautiful palette of Colour by Joicoand Extensions by Amazing Hair, our muse came from old money; an aristocratic world of class systems, leisure, parties, and politics. She uses her trendsetting fashion and style as amessage to others that she is a wealthy enough to travel the world, pay for expensive things, and flaunts them over others. But above all she is strong, forward thinking, modern andeclectic. Prep was hosted at Vic University and for the first time the shoot was held on location in Yarraville at the iconic heritage listed Hot Shots house itself. The team created a stunning mixof colour, length and precision cutting resulting in a collection that could easily grace any high-end fashion magazine in the world! Guided and mentored by Andrew O'Toole this experience is truly priceless and something that will be remembered and treasured for many years to come by the team!

Special thanks to everyone who played a role in making this dream become a reality!
