“This collection was so special to me, it was a reflection of my journey, and facing some hard challenges over the last two years with having baby number two and being a new business owner during a global pandemic and feeling like I was literally Alice in another world,” Chinney said on social media.
The collection is a bold and vibrant mix of wild hair textures, intricate techniques, intriguing shapes and wearable, dimensional hair hues, set against vivid fashion prints and floral motifs. With photography by Jock Robson, makeup by Chay Roberts and styling by Sopheak Sang, every facet unites to inspire.
Well done to Chinney on this award!
