The Group, SS15, Academy Collection

Sassoon Academys new collection The Group takes inspiration from iconic novels such as J. D Salinger The Catcher in the Rye creating a space where Ivy League socialites meet the misfits of Beat. Wholesome jocks and Vassar girls fit for a yacht in Hyannisport elide against the rebellious Karma Bums. Colours cover the spectrum of blonde from sunkissed and seasprayed through to down and out dirty; cuts veer from cleancut barbered elegance to textured dishevelment with fins of offbeat disconnection.
