Intercoiffure Globe-Educator 2010 Award
In November 2010, Cameron was honoured by international hairdressing body, Intercoiffure and named Best Globe Educator.

“It was such an honour to receive the award from Intercoiffure in Paris. Global education is at the very heart of what I do and, for the Patrick Cameron School to be recognised in this way, is one of the highlights of my career,” commented Cameron.

Patrick Cameron School
The Patrick Cameron School, established in 1997, is based in London at the Wella World Studio. Students attending the two-day courses at the school have the opportunity to work with Patrick and his artistic director, Marco Erbi, providing students with the opportunity to master the techniques for which Cameron has become world renowned.

Patrick Cameron has spent the past 20 years educating and inspiring hairdressers globally in the art of dressing long hair. Producing a comprehensive portfolio of shows, books, DVDs and photographic work, which transcends languages and cultures, Cameron educates, motivates and is always entertaining.

The success of the Patrick Cameron School has created a global demand and, as such, Cameron has taken the school out of its London base and is now held across all continents, often in conjunction with his show and other special events.

Ultraviolet 2011
Ultraviolet 2011 Patrick Cameron’s 2011 collection is a celebration of big hair. Ultraviolet is about beautiful, bold and audacious shapes and sexy waves. There is a retro reference here, but the execution and final result is uncompromising and strikingly modern.

The techniques to achieving these styles are a real lesson in foundation and building a structure. These hairstyles, despite their generous volume, are very light and airy, even diaphanous in parts. There is a beautiful balance between the apparent solidity of the shapes and the vaporous textures of them.

Ultraviolet is a very glamorous collection – feminine, elegant and infused with a real sense of fun. The couture is floaty and dazzling, completing the packaging of yet another iconic Patrick Cameron show.

Gold 2010
Gold 2010 2010 marked a very special anniversary for Patrick Cameron: 20 years of international travel and collaboration with Wella worldwide. For the Gold collection, Patrick carefully selected ten hairstyles referencing his own iconic looks from the previous 20 years, distilled and made fresh again, resulting in a completely new, timeless collection.

Prestige 2009
Prestige 2009 Launched in October 2008, Prestige was the ultimate collection of glamorous looks, taking inspiration from the captivating imagery of the pin-ups of the 1940s and 50s, the exotic allure of burlesque and the effervescence of Hollywood Technicolor musicals, and re-invented a refreshing contemporary trend. The result was a powerful combination of feminine iconic looks and highly charged seductiveness.

Red Carpet 2008
Red Carpet 2008 Patrick Cameron’s 2008 collection, Red Carpet, took inspiration from the high glamour of the red carpet. The hair combined beautiful, sculpted shapes and intricate finishes, exploring the balance between classic styles with alternative textures, and the contrast of hair with a sense of energy and perfect placement.

Pure 2007
Pure 2007 The mood of Pure, Cameron’s 2007 show, was one of timeless composure and restrained elegance. With a hint of bridal, a nod to the formal debutante ball and a flirtation with cocktail fashion, the collection was utterly feminine and one of lasting glamour.

Ladies Who Lunch 2006
Ladies Who Lunch 2006 Patrick Cameron’s 2006 collection, Ladies Who Lunch, was about luxury hair – big and chic, and explored the stylish possibilities of the classic hot-roller set in a completely modern way. The collection reinvented power dressing – uncompromising and expensive, with a contemporary twist.

Cream 2005
Cream 2005 Soft and feminine, with delicately placed woven strands that gently wrap around the head, textured curls and waves were the essence of Cameron’s 2005 collection – Cream.

Provocateur 2004
Provocateur 2004 The inspiration behind Patrick Cameron’s Provocateur collection was the noir cinema of the 1940s and the beautiful designs of Hollywood couturier Adrian. Provocateur is not a nostalgic collection, it is a fusion of the amazing craftsmanship of the 1940s with Patrick’s contemporary techniques.

Bohemian Revolution 2003
Bohemian Revolution 2003 The 2003 collection – Bohemian Revolution – showcased Cameron’s expertise in creating alluring feminine hairstyles that fused classic techniques such as plaiting and braiding with beautifully dressed contemporary shapes.

Visionaire 2002

Night Life 2001
Urban gothic fashion reinvented. This collection was all about texture, with dreadlocks and curls providing the texture for amazing large chignons.

Arts & Crafts 2000
The combination of different craft techniques provided the inspiration for this collection. Weaving, braiding, twisting and zig-zag setting gave the hairstyles unique tactile textures, which were also reflected in the beautiful costumes.

Global Tribe 1999
World travels and different ethnicities were the inspiration for this colourful collection. Interweaving references from India, Africa and South America, this collection was a triumph of textures, techniques and decorative elements.

Opera 1998
The theatricality of Opera was infused with a very romantic element. Soft curls created stunning looks and a brand-new technique for extending super-long hair created a show-stopping moment.

Tango 1997
The dramatic energy of the tango provided the inspiration for this collection, in which the hair was finger-waved and braided into beautiful tiaras and low chignons.

Tiffany 1996
Inspired by 1950s couture, these hairstyles were polished and glamorous, with the hair worked into beautiful rolls and chignons.

Jewel 1995
Influenced by eastern aesthetics and the beautiful embellishment of Asian traditional costumes, the hair was sculpted into beautiful conical shapes forming stunning halos.

Royal 1994
Inspired by period hairdressing and Victorian costumes, the collection’s hair was coiled and sculpted into fantastical shapes.
