A summer of statement hair with Shakira Khan.
James worked with Shakira Khan throughout the summer, creating her hair looks for Love Island: Aftersun.
Across multiple appearances, James evolved each look to work with Shakira’s styling, personality and the energy of the occasion — moving beyond a single signature and creating something individual each time.
From polished finishes to bigger statement moments, the collaboration gave James the opportunity to bring together character, versatility and precision across a full summer of looks.
It’s an approach that sits at the heart of his work: understanding the person first, then amplifying their individual style.
One summer. Multiple looks. Always Shakira.
