Project X

The Project X Collection from the Fellowship of British Hairdressing Project Mentorship, led by visionary Lisa Farrall, is a fearless deep dive into avant-garde hairstyling. Think futuristic rebellion meets high-fashion edge—where bold, sculptural hair takes center stage and dares to defy the norm.

“In a world where individuality reigns, we’ve created a vibrant community that embraces rebellion through creativity and collaboration. This collection is the culmination of a mentorship journey with 12 talented hairstylists, united under the strong leadership of Hair Lead, Lisa Farrall.

More than just a collection, this project embodies the spirit of mentorship and the importance of nurturing the next generation of hairstylists. Through shared vision and teamwork, we have explored the depths of subculture, weaving together diverse perspectives and innovative techniques.

Each look in this collection tells a story—an expression of unique identities and a celebration of the artistry that can emerge when passionate individuals come together. This is not just hair; it’s a narrative of rebellion, creativity, and community.” – Lisa Farrall.

This collection isn’t just about hair; it’s about making a statement. From razor-sharp partings to gravity-defying, spike-like strands, each look pushes the boundaries of traditional styling. One standout design features jagged strands shooting skyward like a punk-rock crown, softened by delicate, wet-styled baby hairs that twist across the forehead like organic vines. Another showcases an intricate basket-weave braid melting seamlessly into a damp, textured bob—structured, raw, and impossibly cool.

And let’s talk fashion—because these looks demand outfits just as daring. The styling embraces a cyberpunk goth vibe, with layered fishnet tops, sleek structured silhouettes, and oversized spiked chokers that scream strength, defiance, and just the right amount of anarchistic chaos.

The black-and-white photography only amplifies the drama, allowing every sharp angle and fluid texture to shine. Shot by Desmond Murray, the imagery channels the high-contrast magic of David Bailey—the same kind of raw, powerful aesthetic that made icons like Grace Jones and David Bowie look otherworldly. The result? A series of images that feel fierce, futuristic, and unapologetically striking.

Like Bowie and Jones, the Project X Collection isn’t afraid to shake things up. It’s a fearless celebration of individuality, artistry, and boundary-breaking creativity—where hair, fashion, and attitude collide to create something truly unforgettable.
