Red Hot Girls: The Ginger Revolution continues (NSFW)

A year and a half after its first groundbreaking launch in London, Red Hot - the stills and video exhibition by Thomas Knights - is now embarking on a new chapter: Red Hot Girls. It will begin with a 2016 calendar starring Nicola Roberts (Girls Aloud) alongside 11 other gorgeous red-haired models, dancers, a burlesque performer and a fire breather.

The Red Hot exhibitions in London, New York, Amsterdam, Sydney and Berlin, together with the Red Hot 100 Art Book and 2014 and 2015 calendars have raised over £25,000 for anti-bullying charities.

As a consequence, the project has gained hundreds of thousands of shares on social media; hundreds of newspaper and magazine articles across the globe (including The Sunday Times Style, The Guardian, The New York Post and The Sydney Morning Herald) and multiple appearances on worldwide television shows. It also happened to be Creative Boom's most popular post of all time.

Speaking of the project, Knights said: "I never imagined we would be in this position - where this concept has taken us around the world and raised so much money for charity and really helped to redefine the way we think of red hair. I feel so proud of what we have achieved so far, but there is still a long way to go to realise total acceptance. We were constantly messaged by girls saying how badly they also suffered growing up with red hair, so it felt like the natural next stage for Red Hot to launch a girl version, and show the world there is true beauty in being different.”

The 2016 calendar launch party will take place on the Thursday 23rd July, at 11pm in London at The Cuckoo Club. Already billed as ‘the biggest ginger party the world has ever seen’, Thomas Knights and the Red Hot models will be be signing calendars, to beats by ginger DJ’s, Brodanse.
