Nick Irwin - Hair Stylist

'Experience is important, take every opportunity' - Nick Irwin

Nick Irwin became the global creative director for TIGI in 2001and has been a stylist for over 20 years. He was approached by iconic Anthony Moscolo to help establish the creative team and infamous bedhead salon studios. He spent the early years of his career working throughout Australlia and Europe. Now as the creative director he creates the hairstyles for the marketing images, brand photography and advertising campaigns. He is a regular participator in hair shows around the UK and worldwide, representing TIGI in 'Couture Hair'. His first ever shoot was when he asked to stand in for another stylist who was unfortunatley ill. This then was the starting point of his career, as started to show his passion and enthusiasm.

Above, features Nick in 2011 at the latest stop on his worldwide journey. The cuts and styles featured texture, and teased shapes influenced by the growing trend on catwalks internationally. The creative team took apart elements from the catwalks and demonstrated them in a way stylists can adapt and incorporate in their daily work. Including, texture flicks, knots, braids and loose plaits. During his career he has worked on many celebrities, hollywood actors, models and top industry photographers. He has worked on infamous catwalk shows for large fashion houses such as Vivienne Westwood, Felder Felder, Pringle and Julian J Smith. He recent;y worked on the cover of Hunger Magazine with Zendaya, creating textured waves and alot of body in the hair. Texture was also a primary feature on the cover.

I feel inspired by his work because he has shown dedication and passion all throughout his career, keeping up the same level of enthusiasm throughout. He has strong admiration for his line of work. He worked from the bottom and got himself to the top. Inspiring to me because it shows success isnt just given to those who wait it is EARNT.
