Collection Inspiration
Inspired by his Japanese travels when he was still a student at Penrose Academy in Scottsdale, Arizona, Todd Kane's most recent collection Empire of The Sun, is a direct result of the connections you can make through doing good. While dining with his husband and discussing his charity, Love Out Lavender—a charity that encourages artists to create inspiring images to generate donations for cancer awareness—his server Hannah Mackie shared her own story of losing her father to prostate cancer. Through this chance meeting, Todd saw an opportunity to put Hannah at the heart of his collection by having her model the vibrant looks.
Todd’s latest collection utilizes the new Matrix SOCOLOR Cult shades in Lucky Ducky, Orange Alert and Clear. Throughout the shoot the look really came to life with styling that played with both movement and texture. Utilizing the new Biolage Blowdry Glotion and Biolage Texture Sap from the Biolage styling line.
