We love this! Antidote by James Abu-Ulba, artistic director for the Utopia Group in Vancouver and founder of METHOD.EDUCATION. A fierce collection made of eight strong looks.
Inspiration
Antidote is a celebration of hair as a powerful form of expression, transcending boundaries and connecting us all through a universal language. Each look within the collection explores the beauty of individuality and harmony, blending creativity with precision to push the boundaries of design. The collection balances structure and fluidity, showcasing both bold contrasts and soft, ethereal elements to evoke a sense of transformation and empowerment. Inspired by the belief that hair symbolizes passion through connection, these styles serve as a visual reminder of our shared oneness with the world. From sleek, minimalist designs to sculptural, textured creations, every piece embodies the fusion of strength and grace. The Antidote Collection reflects the core values of inclusivity, self-expression, and artistic freedom, inviting us to embrace our uniqueness while celebrating the connections that unite us all.
