From @charhicks

There really are no words for the feeling after a show. In the moments, it’s the energy around you that matters. This one was very special.

The deepest thank you to this incredible team.

HAIR
@g.b.yates - you are a master. Quietly crafting works of art. @goldwellanz @oribe

SKIN
@teneillesorg - flawlessly bringing a sense of newness to our signature minimalism.
@makeupforever

@monikaruggerino - thank you for the privilege of sharing your beauties with the world.

@bankstimepieces - thank you for bringing the sleekest everyday luxuries into our world.

PRODUCTION
@laraincevents - the safest hands in the business.

The deepest thank you to the team at @catinella.pr
@robyncatinella and your team of black swans - graciously gliding on the surface, running full pelt underneath.

@murraylake.sentirstudio - thank you for patiently supporting my obsession with the musical curation.

The most special thank you to @jessicasteuarthoyler. It is an honour to call you, incredible woman, a dear friend. Making magic with you, finishing each other’s sentences. No words.

@davidstevenwilton - no one shares the vision with me quite like you do. Your devotion to casting perfection kept me inspired through the chaos.

To my internal team - you know who you are. Tirelessly pushing for nothing short of the best.

And finally, to those behind the lenses, thank you foreffortlessly translating my vision.
@danielhanslow

Until next time.

Thank you 🤍
