One-man style supremo Joseph Cordero from Elements in Teddington has won over the judges with a Hollywood-inspired look that takes reference from icons through the ages. The Grand Final line-up is now complete and the competition is set to enter the final phase as it seeks to uncover the winner of the L'Oréal Professionnel Colour Trophy 2008.

Here Joseph explains the inspiration behind his striking image: "My look combines the modernity of Agyness Deyn with the iconic influence of Marlene Dietrich - it's kind of how imagine she would look in 2008; part tomboy and part glamour puss. The clothes styling combines a touch of 80's clothes styling with flashes of colour to add vibrancy.”

Drive and determination has meant that Jospeh's Grand Final position is now assured. He hopes it will inspire younger members of his salon team to excel in their career.

"I've been working towards this moment for a long time and yet when the announcement was made, it completely caught me by surprise,” said Joseph. "It's the best feeling in the world to achieve this and I hope my success provides inspiration to the junior members of the team.”
