Contact:Biography
In the high-stakes world of fashion and hairstyling, few have proven themselves as versatile and
in-demand as Leon Gorman. A hairstylist and artist who intertwines editorial elegance with raw
vitality, Leon's unique approach can be traced back to his upbringing in County Antrim, Northern
Ireland. There, he followed in the footsteps of his mother, an Irish hairdresser who instilled in
him an unyielding passion for the art of hair.
Swapping the bucolic Irish countryside for London's bright lights, Leon joined the esteemed Toni
& Guy in 1987. As the company's Education Artistic Director, he spent over a decade traversing
the globe, refining his craft and forging deep connections within the fashion industry. After a
sojourn in Sydney, Leon journeyed to New York City, where he quickly became one of the
industry's most sought-after session stylists, working alongside legendary hair maestros in Paris
and Milan.
Leon's trajectory took off as he collaborated with top-tier designers and prestigious fashion
photographers, gracing the pages of the most illustrious publications like Vogue, Elle, Harpers
Bazaar, Marie Claire, and V Magazine. His impressive celebrity clientele includes the likes of
Kate Moss, Charlize Theron, Cate Blanchett, and Ewan McGregor, demonstrating his ability to
transform the tresses of the most discerning of clients.
In 2019, Leon Gorman returned to Europe, making Milan his home base. From this vantage
point, he continues to style advertising campaigns for Armani and Kiton, and has recently lent
his talents to San Remo Festival 2023 and top-tier brands like Bumble & Bumble, Chanel, and
Louis Vuitton. His latest artistic endeavor, a fine art photography exhibition titled "Timeless," in
collaboration with photographer Max Vadukul, showcases his prowess in creating vintage, retro
looks that encapsulate the struggles of women in the 20th century.
Leon Gorman's body of work embodies not just beauty, but also a deep understanding of the
artistry and precision required to create modern, compelling looks that resonate with the most
demanding of artists. His keen eye for detail and unwavering commitment to his craft ensure
that each head he touches is transformed into a masterpiece that transcends time and trends.
With Leon at the helm, the world of hair artistry can only continue to flourish.
