Making of a Fashion Festival - Cindy Walker

Behind the fashion, style and photography of a fashion festival, a passionate hair stylist is hard at work.  Cindy Walker is renown in her industry not only for her drive towards her own business, Ave Hair, but her passion for hair dressing as a profession. Working backstage at prestigious events is no match to working along side a passionate team of Townsville Hairdressers.

Providing the wisdom and creativity for the TFF Hair Team, Cindy wears a number of hats. She steered the vision for the Face of Townsville Fashion Festival shoot by harnessing her perfectionist nature to create a high quality and elegant look. 

Cindy's experience and innovation is a valuable asset to the TFF team. 



Your role on the Townsville Fashion Festival committee:
 
Board member, I do whatever needs to be done.


Fashion industry experience:
 
26 Years in Hairdressing. Assisting backstage for Antoniette Beenders, Tracey Hughs, Oscar & Oscar. But the best experience that I have really enjoyed has got to be working with the Townsville Hairdressing team, they absolutely ROCK! (I consider myself very lucky to work along side of them). I've also worked on numerous hair shows and photo shoots, which include designs. 



Favourite designer:

 
Miss Else's Wardrobe she is my absolute saviour, Messy by Jessy and Bespoke.

Style staple:  

For work, it would be any thing different and unique, and for personal wear, it would be any thing old and comfortable and sometimes I look like no one owns me but it feels great.  I love love love my friends old clothes, I don't know why, but there is always cool pieces of clothing that they get rid of.  We are such a throw away society!

 
Why you live in Townsville: 
 
I live here because every one is friendly and people still say hello to each other in the street, I am the kind of person who will strike up a conversation with the person next to me in the check out line waiting to buy groceries. I find it difficult when I go down south as no one talks to each other.  It would be lonely for a lot of people down there.

2013 TFF Event I’m most looking forward to: 
 
Seeing all the great designs and Hair on the Thursday night.  I love arty alternative styles and music. Some thing different hey! 


With love, the TFF team.
