Birch by Kati Suokas is a striking collection that won Silver in the Hairdressers of Finland Colour Master Competition (and Gold in the Hairdressers of Finland Shot Video). The looks display technical skill and pay tribute to the beauty found in the simplicity of nature.
With her collection, Kati reminds us that it pays to look abroad when searching for inspiration. Her styles are imaginative, and we admire her skilful colour placement and texturized cuts.
Inspiration
Birch captures the magical essence of a Finnish birch forest. Kati says; “Organicity flows through each proposal, connecting creativity with nature harmoniously. Simultaneously, celestial clarity illuminates every style, infusing the light of confidence and tranquillity into every detail.”
Details
Silver Birch: Picture yourself immersed in the purity of the Silver Birch, where trunks shine with pure white and black marks. This vision has brought to life the clearest images of the collection.
Downy Birch: The older trunks of the Downy Birch weave a darker palette of colours, which Kati exploits through her freehand painting technique.
River Birch: The gentle sway of birch branches, dancing to the rhythm of the wind, inspires the high-fashion images of the collection.
