04 Oct L’Oréal Professionnel Announce 2022 Australian Style & Colour Trophy Winners
Drumroll please! L’Oréal Professionnel gathered the Australian industry at separate state events on Monday August 8, congregating the whole national industry and uniting them via a live video feed from Melbourne to announce and celebrate the winners and medallists in the national Style & Colour Trophy for 2022.
Watching a series of compelling interviews and videos with former competition winners and lauded session stylists, all hosted by brand ambassador Ellie Gonsalves, the events captured the magnitude of the platform, while celebrating each state community in an intimate fashion.
After competing in a series of stages this year, the finalists were assessed for a final time to place as a medallist or win within the significant categories. Congratulations to Claudia Cataldo of Cataldo’s Salon in Canberra, who was honoured for her artistic direction and interpretation of the French Edito theme as the Style & Colour Trophy winner for Australia. If selected and successful on the international stage, Claudia could make it a hattrick of Australian wins after our own Wendy Gunn and Massimo Tirimacco won in the last two global competitions.
