This was a special milestone for Kate Sylvester. Celebrating their 30-year anniversary with an uplifting, joyful show in honour of their journey; revisiting the archive to highlight the most iconic KS moments that had all the girlies swooning.
Hair for the occasion was created by Sean Mahoney using Oribe, inspired by the archetypal KS girl for a look that was strong, beautiful and a celebration of each model's unique hair and texture. The runway saw sleek ponytails, modern knots and voluminous, luscious curls. You can steal the look below:

Apply a liberal amount of Oribe Imperial Blowout from roots to tips. In 2-inch sections, smooth the hair using a boar bristle brush and your hair dryer in a downward motion. Stretch and polish the ends.
STEP TWO
Section your hair 4 inches deep from temple to temple. Apply Oribe Maximista Thickening Spray to the roots. Brush in an upward motion away from the face to create volume.
