Conversations with Kevin

What does it really take to create hair backstage at Fashion Week? Nathan Gorman sits down with KEVIN.MURPHY DIAMOND.KEY Holly Grindley from the UK, and PLATINIUM.KEY Sam Battenally from Australia to take us behind the scenes of what it’s really like creating hair backstage at Fashion Week.

They unpack their biggest learnings from hair director Eugene Souleiman, how they adapted to the fast-moving backstage environment, and the creative process of crossing boundaries to translate the fashion story into a hair story.

Sam and Holly also share how their skills, instincts and adaptability at Fashion Week translate directly into the salon and what their backstage experience has taught them about working with everyday clients.

DESIGN.DIRECTOR for Colour Kate Reid is joined by COLOUR/STYLE Master Carmen Waltz to explore the 4 new Beige shades for KEVIN.MURPHY+CODE.

Together they unpack the four new BEIGE shades 10.2, 9.2, 8.2 and 7.2 and why beige is becoming such a modern, versatile and wearable choice for clients. From understanding where beige sits on the colour wheel to creating customised formulas, lowlights, lived-in blondes and dimensional brunette shades and their favourite ways to work with the new palette.

In this episode of CONVERSATIONS WITH KEVIN Kevin is joined by Sarah and Nathan to explore KEVIN.MURPHY’S newest innovation FLAWLESS, the new 6-in-1 bond-building styling lotion designed to bring treatment and styling together in one step. 

They unpack the shift towards treatment-led styling, why clients are increasingly looking for products that improve the condition of their hair while delivering a beautiful finish and the technology behind FLAWLESS including KM.RE.BOND.

A haircut can change the way someone feels about themselves but what happens when that haircut becomes the starting point for something much bigger?
Host Nathan Gorman is joined by Craig Hollywood, founder of Short Back and Sidewalks, an organisation that provides free haircuts to people experiencing hardship, domestic violence, poverty and homelessness.
Craig shares the story of how an idea born from empathy became a growing organisation, the powerful moments he has witnessed through the work, and why connection, dignity and simply being listened to can have such an impact.
The conversation also explores the partnership between Short Back and Sidewalks with KEVIN.MURPHY, and the role the hair industry can play in creating meaningful change.
