Sebastian CULT Team Tour





We started in Glasgow prepping hair from 2.30pm until 7.30pm and the show started at 8pm. It was such a nerve-racking experience but so exciting as well, once we began we didn’t have much time to think as everything was so rushed!

We had four models and twelve looks in total. In contrast to normal editorial and commercial shows, we didn’t use conventional model types. We had two heavily tattooed girls, a curvy girl and a older lady who was incredibly comfortable in her own skin which is amazing and so refreshing to see. We created some amazing styles as a team and had a great night in 29 Royal Exchange Square.

There was no time to party though…as soon as we finished the show at 10pm we were straight onto the coach for a six hour journey to Nottingham for another show. With a couple of hours sleep we started prepping for that show around 1pm then again show started at 8pm and finished at 10pm and we were straight back on the coach for a few hours to London then and completed another show. It was such a great experience and such good fun but a bit hard going. We had amazing feedback from people who came to watch which was amazing. Overall I had so much fun and would love to do it again (but maybe with a little bit more sleep this time.)
