Marc Mendicino’s Displaced Collection won him the coveted title of Men’s Hairdresser of the Year in the 2009 Australian Hair Fashion Awards this past week.  Mendicino is the Style and Training Director at the award-winning é SALON in Wahroonga and is honoured to walk away with this victory. 

“Creating this collection was a truly enjoyable experience and this win makes it even more enjoyable,” says Mendicino. “It’s amazing to know it was judged the winner in such a strong competition by six of the best hairdressers in the UK, and this has really boosted my confidence in what I do.  It’s definitely the biggest and most rewarding highlight of my career to date.”

Displaced presents styles that are individual whilst remaining wearable, masculine and technically strong, combining street-cool with sophistication.  

“Displaced captures the moment in a man or boy’s life where he finds himself detached from society,” explains Mendicino. “His entire look from the carefully styled hair to the carefully selected fashion isn’t the norm—it’s somewhat displaced—hence the collection title.”
