Sculpture (1982)
Artists: Bree Davie & Nathan Walker
Originally created by Trevor Sorbie
Created in 1982, Sculpture reflected Trevor Sorbie’s fascination with three-dimensional shape and form and the possibilities of hair as a sculptural medium.
Using the model’s own hair, Trevor built dramatic architectural shapes that challenged traditional ideas of hairdressing. Blonde pieces were layered over gelled hair to create contrast, depth and structure, drawing inspiration from the colours and markings found in leopard print, transforming simple forms into bold, striking works of art.

About the Artists
Bree Davie and Nathan Walker have spent much of their careers working alongside Trevor Sorbie, helping shape the culture, education and creative standards that became synonymous with the brand.
Together, they have dedicated more than five decades to Trevor Sorbie, witnessing first-hand the ideas, ambition and generosity that defined Trevor’s approach to both hairdressing and people.
The Recreation
Inspired by one of Trevor’s most artistic creations, this interpretation celebrates Trevor’s fascination with shape, structure and visual expression. While honouring the spirit of the original look, Bree and Nathan have reimagined Sculpture through a contemporary lens, exploring the same sense of form, balance and creativity that made the original so distinctive.
Like Trevor, they looked to the animal world for inspiration. While the original referenced the colours of leopard print, this recreation takes its influence from the banded patterns of a snake. The flowing markings complement the sculptural wave-like form of the piece, creating a visual connection between colour, movement and shape.
The result is a contemporary interpretation that remains true to Trevor’s original spirit of experimentation and artistic exploration.
Trevor’s Legacy
Sculpture reminds us that Trevor never saw limitations in hairdressing, only possibilities. His curiosity, imagination and willingness to experiment continue to inspire artists and hairdressers around the world today.
