新成立的Alternative Hair俄國單位，5月時在聖彼得堡舉行了Visionary Award視覺藝術表演比賽，共有最後入圍的25位來自全俄國的設計師參與比賽。Alternative Hair組織的發起人Tony Rizzo也受邀出席此場盛會。Tony表示，要從眾多優秀的作品中挑出冠軍，對評審團而言極具挑戰性。冠軍得主Dmitriy Ageev將參加Alternative Hair Show London倫敦的演出比賽，角逐International Visionary 獎項。

今年倫敦的Alternative Hair Show將在10月16日於Royal Albert Hall粉墨登場，盛大亮相，主題是illusion(幻象)，將由來自英國與世界各地的知名優秀髮型團隊帶來時尚精湛又華麗的歌舞與藝術表演。一如往常，表演門票收入將捐給英國與世界各地血癌基金會，用以幫助更多血癌病童與病友。
