ELLE TURKEY AUGUST 18

  

I am really interested in the styling used for this shoot which effectively depicts this idea of unconventional fashion and how it can be blended to upkeep a luxury image for an editorial. It showcases the elements i wanted to keep from the 1960s, of high cut swimwear and elasticated hats however using high end designers and evident current trends to modernise the theme. I believe that this style of fashion used against the style of photography resembles much of a futuristic sense especially with this sort of washed out, silver-toned background which isn’t something i actually want to be perceived from my photographs. Nonetheless, it can still contribute to helping me create this composition of specific layers and can be an idea on how to highlight each layer individually like the renaissance painting. There seems to be a running theme of contrasting colours for my research into swimwear ads and editorials, especially amongst the accessories. Maybe this could be filtered into my own styling techniques for the shoot, particularly with glasses, hats and shoes, although the contrast will have to be kept at a pastel scheme somehow. Additionally, the use of odd materials placed upon the body – specifically shown in the third picture – could be effective in highlighting this contrast and create barriers between the over use of pattern i am wanting to achieve and the block colour palette. This type of pvc or latex plastering wrapped round the ankle could be a great idea for re-building a standard sock or pair of tights too.
