Ian travels the globe to educate Aveda colorists and

FAVORITE AVEDA COLLECTION:
I love NeoGoth Autumn/Winter 2012 because it's a celebration of red hair color. It's also a collection I have such fond memories of in terms of working on it with the team.
FAVORITE PRIZED POSSESSION:
I have a Vivienne Westwood suit that I got when I was 20. All these years later I still cherish it. It feels as wonderful to wear today as it did when I first purchased it years ago.
WHAT INSPIRES YOUR WORK:
Fashion. It's in a constant state of change and about always moving forward, which I believe we have to do with hair. With interesting color, shape and texture combinations, and so many points of view on design, there's always something exciting to pull inspiration from for creation.
