Premiere Show Group has announced IN FOCUS, the creative campaign behind the Premiere 2027 Show Tour, developed in collaboration with award-winning Ashlee Norman Hair & Team.
IN FOCUS invites beauty professionals to quiet the distractions and self-doubt of a fast-moving industry and instead invest in their own development. The campaign's visual direction plays on the contrast between focus and blur — a metaphor for clarity and intention. Styled and shot with an editorial, aspirational flair, the collection remains intentionally grounded: accessible, diverse, and achievable for artists at every stage of their career.
