Abril’s Best Beauty Story 2004 Prize for The nape, at last, published in Capricho October/2003 issue
After working together with Capricho's staff for their TV show, I became a freelancer journalist for them - as well as for other publications at that time. One of my decisions when I proposed ideas was that we didn't use models. Instead, we would find real girls, with real problems, even for beauty or fashion issues. The nape, at last is about a girl who had been growing her hair for 4 years and was decided to cut it short but was afraid of the radical transformation. So we proposed that she had in cut in phases, so she would get used to it shorter and shorter. The final article shows the different phases of her hair and her impressions during the experience.
