ANNUAL AWARDS WINNERS ANNOUNCED AT SAKS GATHERING FESTIVAL

The brand did things a little differently this year with their very own festival. On 12th June 2022 Saks people from salons up and down the country, along with the HQ team, rocked up to the stunning setting of Wyboston Lakes to channel Saks’ own take on Glasto 5-0. Live music on the main stage, stalls, games, butterflies on stilts, mirrored men, street food, games, dancing and singing in a field.

Dress code? Festival-glam. Of course, the Saks lot SO rocked that. Much hugging, laughter and happy tears at actually seeing each other.

As twilight set in everyone headed into the awards ceremony to applaud the very-deserved winners. And our creative director Luke Pluckrose jetted straight in from a gig at Lake Como to host – said he wouldn’t miss this for the world!
