The BOOTLEG PROJECT took over Christchurch, New Zealand, on January 30, delivering their education Collab experience to the New Zealand audience.

Pioneered by stylist and educator for Pretty Vacant and ANTI Collective, Nathan Yip, the presentation kicked off the start of an extensive calendar planned for this education format in New Zealand throughout 2023, with at least two sessions in Auckland, Wellington and Christchurch planned for the year.

“The BOOTLEG PROJECT is community driven hair education. House party X Hair Edu. An unadulterated live event. No stages. No production. Real talent sharing real stories,” Nathan explained.

The stripped back education format paired with ANTI, which is part of the Cult Brands NZ stable, to inspire attendees and offer them insights and skills to bring back to their salons. The education initiative facilitates networking alongside the education offering, ensuring growth in a progressive environment.

The BOOTLEG PROJECT session was followed the next by the ANTI Elevator Cutting workshops hosted by Nathan Yip, to deliver specific cutting expertise.

“Working within our brand values has always been important to us at ANTI Collective,” shared  ANTI co-founder Glen Ruddle about why BOOTLEG PROJECT is such a seamless partner for the brand. “Creativity, individuality and empowerment: something you will find at a BOOTLEG PROJECT event. BOOTLEG PROJECT is an obvious movement to get behind and celebrate for ANTI.”
