Read all about it!

If like us, you can’t wait for the Vidal Sassoon The Movie to be released in Spring 2011, don’t fret as we’re delighted to announce that the life and career of style icon Vidal Sassoon is available for your reading pleasure from today. Vidal: The Autobiography (published by Pan Macmillan) is filled with warm memories, and is as rich in detail as you would hope, full of surprising and often moving stories of from his early life to his rise to global fame.

We’re all swooning over John Mullan’s winning look for The Coterie’s Style Sensation photo blog competition. We also love the fact that this on-trend look was inspired by old-school skills – here is what the Stone founder had to say about his stunning style: “I styled this at Milan Fashion Week for Luisa Beccaria A/W10, and the inspiration came from an old book called ‘The Technique and Art Of Marcel Weaving’. We put a modern twist on it to compliment the designer’s clothes.”

We look forward to celebrating your success (and hopefully experience a John Mullan style makeover!) at the next Coterie event on Monday 15 November!

More, more, more!

Congratulations to Aaron Carlo, senior art team member at Headmasters, who came in second place in The Coterie’s Style Sensation photo blog competition. Aaron reveals his inspiration behind his styles: “The looks were created for a shoot for More! magazine’s ‘50 style ideas’ feature, which is being published this month. The first style was inspired by Jerry Hall with an 80s flavour, and the second was inspired by festival chic – think Sienna Miller and Glastonbury!”
