Marc Eastlake and Jody Quinn from The Gentry in Goffs Oak have claimed the final spot in the coveted category of the L'Oréal Professionnel Men's Image award. This talented team are no strangers to success in this competition having won the L'Oréal Professionnel Colour Trophy title in 2006.

Marc and Jody explain the inspiration behind their striking image: "We wanted to create an expensive, grown-up look. Using layers of texture and colour, we were aiming for a metallic effect with the clothes styling which worked in harmony with our model's smooth, slick hair. To finish, we decided on a dramatic black fur coat in order to make a big style statement.”

With their sights set firmly on the end goal of winning the title, the team are once again set for an exhilarating experience in the competition.

"Although we won the L'Oréal Professionnel Colour Trophy in 2006, we didn't want to go in to the regional final with too much confidence,” explained Marc. "We just love this competition. To see your model on the Grand Final catwalk is incredibly emotional and we are really looking forward to experiencing that moment again.”
