SWIMWEAR

Further research for developing ideas surrounding the use of retro swimwear in my styling. Although Newton’s photography doesn’t show signs of the typical floral patterning i wanted to produce in my work, he is a photographer who has worked mainly with luxury fashion and these images showcase how he has handled swimwear in this spectrum. I thought it was best to look both into luxury and casual wear and how they are styled differently within the photography, particularly from the 1960s itself. I am really fond of clashing the vintage swimwear with completely unconventional and modern day approaches to relate the overall image to my personal style more and Newton shows examples of this by using swim hats with luxury jumpsuits and excessively long, pink hair. Portraying an unconventional image for my shoot will bring this concept and my final outcome of a magazine into the present day and complete the entire theme of the “modern renaissance”.
