Whilst it can be tough to watch summer slip through our fingers, autumn/winter definitely has its upsides; cosy knits, winter boots, open fires and of course....the X Factor!
To date we have endured the rabble of the good, the bad and downright irritating but we already have our favourite acts and placed bets on the final 16 (or is that just us?). Thankfully from here on in it's out with the old and in with the new, meaning no more cringing at disillusional acts and no more drab clothing. As much as we love to watch the contestant's talent and personalities unfold, we at Company are looking forward to the Monday morning debrief of the outfits; so - not a moment too soon it's time to bring in the styling team!!
After being linked to winner Matt Cardle last year, stylist Grace Woodward has been replaced by international uber stylist Laury Smith who has been in LA for almost a decade working with A-list celebs such as Lady Ga Ga, Pussycat Dolls and Britney Spears. Laury is joined by celebrity hair stylist Jamie Stevens who has coiffed the likes of Kylie and Elle Macpherson - and promising to polish them off with a dramatic and directional make-up look is Natalya Nair who is responsible for Florence Welch and Estelle's perfect appearances. We cant wait to see what they have in store!
Successful 16? Its time to face the music....
