It was in the movement of life, the stirring of the world that Jordan Hone of Sydney's Sloans of Lane Cove found inspiration for the Overture collection.
"The way a symphony of individuals becomes one entity-and for each note they create, the movement and feeling lasts only an instant and then is gone forever. It is the essence of these fleeting moments that this collection aims to capture," says Hone.

With movement comes texture, and Overture has whisked Jordan into a new phase of experimentation. Renowned for her polished editorial work, which boasts clean lines, minimalism, and a sense of feminine glamour, Hone yearned to move into a darker space with Overture.

She was inspired, in part, by the Chanel F/W 14/15 show, specifically the use of varying textures across crimping, braiding, and natural hair finishes, which subtly inspired the intricate melding of textures throughout in Overture.

Hairstyles from the early 1970s is what ignited Carole Haddad's ideas for this striking Burlesque collection. Think: The Wedge, The Bob, The Shag, and The Pageboy.

"I played with classic 1970s, geometric shapes and then altered, exaggerated, and peppered the looks with quirky, punky twists," says Haddad of Corcorz Hair in Australia. "The sexiness of fishnet stockings was the inspiration for the styling, conjuring a hybrid of beautiful, opulent Burlesque and 80s punk looks. After so many years of being hailed an avant-garde hairdresser, another aim of the collection was to showcase my cutting techniques. I felt it was important to demonstrate the breadth and precision of my skills... and hopefully, weave some Zeitgeist in there too."
