In this collection beauty reveals itself naturally and with authenticity. Tom Connell, new Davines Hair Art Director, has created a collection for those who wear it, giving them the freedom to express their personal identity.

I always keep a document with me to write down things that catch my attention: a haircut I saw on the street, a piece of furniture, a film clip. Once a month, I read it and see a connection between all the elements, and I develop my ideas from there.
Metà e Metà
The secret to this look is simplicity, colours create a subtle and harmonious contrast throughout the length of hair in its natural fall.

A strong, yet balanced colour contrast. This structured shape has been created to give wearers several ways of shaping their look.

The colour inspiration comes from the surface of planet Mars. Combining a soft haircut canvas with unusual yet complementary contrasting dusty tones of pink and red.

A textured French bob shape refreshed with a line which shortens towards the face, combined with a shallow Jane Birkin style fringe give an ultra blonde colour a natural, tousled canvas to sit on.

Navy Fade
This look was created to give a touch of interest and dimension to the natural dark colour, unveiling blue tones that reflect in the natural light.
The styling products:
Parisian Grey
A short and Parisian flair look allows the colour to be the star. Steel grey is the shade chosen for this look, a timeless colour, immune to trends.

Beam
Looking at the way opposites can play visual tricks, the placement of two complementary colour tones that spiral around the head bring Bridget Riley’s abstract inspiration to real life in this look.
The styling products:
A disconnected cut with shorter lengths around the jaw combined with longer lengths through the back accentuated by the placement of colour, in particular with the movement given by the darker center parting.

The Colour: inspired by designer Dieter Rams
Colour choices have also drawn inspiration from the philosophy of the famous designer Dieter Rams, founder of the principle according to which “having small touches of colour makes it more colourful”. The choice of applying colour with selective rigour has enabled Tom to create, for each look, shrouded visual levels that unveil at a second glance whilst resulting in absolute harmony. The tone on tone colour line by Davines, View, and the permanent colour line Mask with Vibrachrome have been used in synergy to create the collection looks, and give hair shine and body.
