Clothing Research

Using the internet, I have found some inspiration into the sorts of clothing I think look effective and appealing in order to dress my models in similar things for my photos.



 

I really like the idea of using fur in the image as it looks dramatic, sophisticated and classy. It gives the image a vintage look which is what I am trying to incorporate into my double page spread image but I think this would also look appealing on a front cover. On the first image, I think the contrast of textures between the fur and the shiny black pants looks very effective therefore I will ask my model to wear disco pants to recreate this look. The look of hair tumbling over the fur looks very appealing and invitational I think.

 

 

Another look I really like for my front cover is a leather jacket. This is not as rare a clothing item however looks strong and fierce, which would make my cover star seem dominant and in control. This would appeal to my target audience as they will aspire to be like the cover star, and it is also such a versatile jacket that I could choose almost anything for the model to be wearing underneath, it will fit in with my design by looking subtle but is still a striking feature.



 

Black clothing is something I have decided to focus on for my models outfit, especially on the front cover, as it is simple and undistracting from the focus of the image which will be the models dramatic makeup, however is extremly elegant and flattering. These are two good examples of the styles of clothing I would have my model wear, as the first one is very attractive and sophisticated looking which will make my model look mature and appealing, and the second is a simple black dress which is extremely flattering but undistracting from the rest of the image. I also like the idea of a gold necklace and heels as this will again add to the appeal of the whole look.

 

 

These are a few other examples of the kinds of clothing I think would be effective for my model to wear. One the first image, the loose sheer shirts in subtle colours give a relaxed and grungy look which my target audience will find relatable and despite looking quite messy there is also an element of style and elegance about the material and colours. I will use an outfit like this in my more urban looking image as it will create an effective contrast. The other image is a smarter outfit which I am thinking of having my model wear when taking a live performance style image, as this will look very sophistated and smart but at the same time fashionable and aspirable to the audience.
