WINNER British Southern Hairdresser of the Year 2010
“My collection has been inspired by “The Coral Reef”. The movement of tropical fish….Their colour, their scales, tail and fins enabled me to create a strong, sophisticated structured look. Their beautiful flowing movement under water inspired these immense looks!”

“This collection is inspired by the strength of women, using the undulations of a woman’s hair to create a mixture of luxurious form and structure. The silhouette translation is sensual which has reference to French vogue and military insignia.”

“My latest collection is all about the empowerment of women, I wanted to show that women can be strong, sexy and feminine all at the same time. I wanted the hair to be aspirational yet wearable and have an expensive polished finish. I took inspiration from the crisp, clean feeling of a Tom Ford Campaign whilst capturing the essence of French Vogue. I believe hair and fashion go hand in hand and it is always my mission to portray this in my collections.”

The 2009 Collection
Chris Williams | RUSH
WINNER British Colourist of the Year 2009
“Light was the inspiration for this collection. I wanted to create the effect that beams of coloured light were illuminating and enhancing the shape of the cuts. The emphasis was on the reflective shine of light on a spherical shape. We used a black background to define the shape, and to enhance the colour prism created within each individual look.”

FINALIST Eastern Hairdresser of the Year 2009
“This collection mixes the sensual femininity of the 1940′s film noir femme fatale with the raw rebellious feel of the 1950′s American youth as embodied by James Deane in “Rebel Without A Cause”. The androgynous heroines give a mysterious, troubled innocence to this classic, yet powerful collection.”

“My Collection this year was inspired by old movie film sirens of the 50′s, 60′s and 70′s. It strongly focuses on classic shapes with graphic lines and polished dressing. I wanted to capture the colours by illuminating focal areas of the cuts with beautiful contrasting shades to add shine and elegance.”

The 2008 Collection
FINALIST British Artistic Team of the Year 2008
The Collection was inspired by the late 80′s, early 90′s music movement bringing in a fresh look of punk. It was designed to provoke thought and provides an education into the RUSH world. It fuses elements of stillness with motion, using RUSH’s foundation of strength and movement, static shapes given the illusion of motion captured in the photograph.
The 2007 Collection
FINALIST British Artistic Team of the Year 2007
The hair in this collection was inspired by Urban street style in the early 90s. The 90s style ponytails were given a modern twist by using different textures and incorporating fringes. Strong shapes were contrasted with exaggerated lengths showing Strength and Movement…the RUSH Way.
