Graphic Punk

Richard Kavanaugh, New Zealand, Graphic Punk

What inspires you most?
My favorite place is Piha Beach [in New Zealand] with its black sands and rolling thunderous seas. I am also inspired by fashion—Calvin Klein, Hussein Chalayan and Jean Paul Gaultier. I recently worked with [Redken Creative Consultant] Guido during Fashion Week in NYC, Milan and Paris and that was an inspirational time in my career.

What inspired this look?
Strong geometric lines and dark shadows. I created a "modern fem, punk rock chic"—where color adds dimension and shadow that anchor the haircut which is made up of heaps of choppy texture with length in the back.
