"Creating a style is like creating a work of art. You have to layer and sculpt to maximize the effects of surprise and pleasure." ~Luigi Murenu

Runway show, wow!
Just recently I was invited to an event that was incredibly inspriational. I am a hairdresser and work for an amazing company but also a very demanding one. I love my job and wake up every morning excited to go to work. I feel so blessed to be in the position I am. But as all of you know, sometimes the things you are most passionate about become tiresome. Every once in awhile I need a little pick me up and this event did the job!
Luigi Murenu is an editorial stylist. His clients include everyone from Madonna to Cameron Diaz. He left his hometown in Sardinia when he was just 20 years old working in Paris and London before moving to New York ten years ago. Within two years he was requested for major editorial, advertising and runway shows. His vision and talent have made him a leading figure and influence in both the fashion and entertainment arenas.
We met at The Ruins which is a private club in Seattle for an intimate presentation. Luigi Murenu had just flown in from Paris the day before and has been working extremely hard the last few weeks. He looked exhausted but was so gracious and made us all feel like we were life long friends. He shared his story and the journey he has been on. This man has traveled all over the world, worked with high end fashion designers, models, photographers and still is the most humble person I have ever met. He makes his work look so easy and effortless. Watching him gave us all something more to strive for. This was an opportunity I will not soon forget. There were many cameras, which means many flashes so the pictures aren't perfect but I had to share them anyway.

Thanks Tammie, yes I remember cutting your hair. I think I was still in school learning how to cut hair! I also remember you on your wedding day, you were the most laid back bride I have ever seen. You just kept saying "Do whatever you want!" I think that made me more nervous.

Well Kellie we had some good times in your kitchen! I know it's hard to find someone new but I'm sure Denver has some great salons. You have beautiful hair, hopefully you won't have any bad hair disasters!
