Kleek Apprentices Make Their Mark at Paris Haute Couture Fashion Week

Not one, but two Kleek Apprentices have made their mark at the renowned Paris Haute Couture Fashion Week, showcasing the skills of young hairstylists. The show, set against the stunning backdrop of Palais de Tokyo, showcased Tamara Ralph’s latest Fall-Winter 2025-2026 collection, inspired by the elegance of the Art Deco era.

Niamh Hughes from Saks Northallerton and Mia Stobbs from Saks Thornaby were given the incredible opportunity to assist celebrity stylists, Luke Pluckrose, Ky Wilson and James Lear during the exclusive Tamara Ralph show on 7th July.

Both apprentices played a crucial role behind the scenes, contributing to the glitz and glamour that typifies high fashion! Of course, we caught up with Niamh and Mia afterwards to find out all the goss! Here’s what they had to say:

Niamh shared:

“I got the most amazing opportunity to go with my work colleague Alex to Paris Haute Couture Fashion Week. Assisting the amazing Luke Pluckrose at the Tamara Ralph Haute Couture Show was SURREAL. I also had the pleasure of meeting talented hairdressing influencers James Lear and Ky Wilson, which was an unforgettable experience.”

Mia expressed:

“Paris Haute Couture Fashion Week was the BEST experience of my life from start to finish. I am so extremely grateful to have been given this opportunity at such a young age.”

Niamh and Mia’s experience at Paris Haute Couture Fashion Week is just a glimpse of the incredible experiences waiting for you as a hairdressing apprentice with Kleek Apprenticeships.
