DAVID BAILEY VOGUE ITALIA

 

These are examples of Bailey’s 1960’s Vogue Italia editorials and reflect an image that i want to aim to portray in my own work in regard to his use of composition through photography and elements of the styling. Although the colour palette is a lot stronger and bolder than what i imagine my outcome to depict, looking at the actual styling and photography taken specifically from this era will be mostly effective in helping me to really pull through even the minor details into current day. From studying these images, i was immediately attracted to the contrast used within the swimwear and the tights, where the block colours actually tie together the entire image – creating evident layers within the photography. I have also looked closely at the style of swimwear used; which needs to be carefully thought about when choosing my clothing as there is a key difference in this trend and modern day bikinis. Underwired bra style tops matched with high waisted or high cut bottoms is a major trend from the 1960s and 70’s but possibly being paired with such extreme coloured tights, it might be able to jump into this idea of modernising these fashionable movements.
