PROJECT X EXCEL INTO 2025 WITH SESSION STYLIST JOHANNA CREE BROWN
Project X travelled to London to spend the day at Brooks & Brooks with Project Support, Olivia Rose Brady, and Harry Andreou.
Award-winning session stylist and Creative Director of Special Projects at Trevor Sorbie, Johanna Cree Brown joined the team to spark their creativity, demonstrating how to elevate every-day looks to an editorial standard, enhance the hair when working with extensions, and the do’s and don’ts backstage at fashion weeks and on editorial photoshoots. She also gave the team insight into her career and how she broke into the world of session styling.
“Today with Johanna Cree Brown we did a workshop on fashion hair and the experience was nothing short of incredible. We delved into creating sleek ponytails with precision, mastering attention to detail, and working with extensions to transform hair into stunning works of art. The day was filled with live tutorials, captivating photoshoots, and the use of intricate embellishments to elevate every look” comments Michael Kent from Blue Tit Brixton.
“Project X 2025 started with a bang! Our first session with the incredible Joanna Cree Brown was a jam-packed day where all our session and editorial questions were answered. Johanna covered everything from the technical skills to the do’s and don’t s behind the scenes of fashion week and editorial shoots. We had a mixture of look and learns and hands on crafting beautiful runway ready looks. What an incredible day, we all learnt so many valuable skills which I know will help us take our next steps into the session hair world” says Chevonne Dematos from Chevonne Hair.
