“YOU CAN’T HAVE DOL
LCE WITHOUT GABBANA.”
You can’t have Dolce without Gabbana. You can’t have Peaches without Herbs. You can’t have Tim Coburn with
James Cornwell. Cornwell’s pair of skillful hands creates the signature make-up and hair that changes the lives of his clients.
“I [remember when I] did a lovely young lady for a photo competition, Cornwell said. Her mother was coloring her hair with products she could buy from the local store, she was a very light blonde, and it was a very bad color. Her hair was also very long. She was just signed with a local agency, we worked on her model portfolio for her, I knew she had much more potential-she just needed a new look. “
Cornwell decided to ask her agent if the team of him and Coburn could
give the young lady a makeover. Within a few hours, the agent approved and Cornwell falicitated a makeover with impact.
“She told me I changed her life,” Cornwell said. To me that is what a makeover is about. We shot a new portfolio for her for free! It made such a difference!”
Cornwell treats all his clients with the same respect and gratitude because a makeover isn’t just skinning deep, but it’s life altering.
“I want them to feel that they were advised,” Cornwell said. Their opinion of their hair and how it works in to
their lifestyle matters to me. When you communicate you gain your clients trust. When these elements come together you can create a look that people are happy with, a look that people can style, and you keep them feeling fresh and fabulous!”
Cornwell has been working the circuit of the fashion industry for more than seven years. However,
hair and make-up were a bit fuzzy, yet learning experience.
“If you want to go way back in the day, it was one of my cousins and I am not so sure it was pretty,” Cornwell said. My actual
good, if I do say so myself. I was told early on I was a natural. My
however it did not take me long to get the feel of a good cut!”
Cornwell carries on his artistry in the images of Tim Coburn photos as well as in the organization of PR at Partners.
“I have a quote that I wrote and
Makeup, and clothing can not only change the look and face of your subject, it can also change their life.’”
