Wade Blackford
In Wade’s role as Global Design Director for Styling, he brings calmness and refinement to KEVIN.MURPHY Education.
Growing up in a small country town, Wade is now directing shows for M/FW and Vogue Taiwan Fashion Night Out, so he is equally comfortable backstage and out on the mainstage in front of an audience.
A winner of the Australian Hair Fashion Awards “Avant Guard” category, Wade brings a simplicity and refinement to hair and hair styling. A key part of the KEVIN.MURPHY campaign team, Wade creates looks and textures that attract stylists and their clients alike.
Published in multiple print and digital journals, he has created countless editorial images and has an enviable digital presence as the person behind the Mirrorbox Project. Mentoring KEY Educators is a focus for Wade and is inspired by developing learning journeys that can be accessed in-person and digitally. Excited by the future of learning and new initiatives, SESSION.SALON by KEVIN.MURPHY is a particular love for Wade. By being a key contributor to education development, Wade makes sure that the client and communication is kept to the forefront, noting that if we can’t find something- we create it.
