This project was a great way to explore diversity within fashion. As the brief was extremely broad and there are a lot of different types of diversity, I struggled to quickly decide on an idea. As well as this, the time given for this brief was very short so I felt that I was doing everything very rushed and not as well as I could have done if we had more time. I decided to go down the route of religion for my project, specifically the muslim religion. There are not many muslim models at all specifically in high end fashion. H&M recently did a campaign featuring a muslim model, being one of the first brands to do so, and Debenhams are becoming the first big brand on UK high streets to stock the burka. I thought this was extremely relevant research, and is also a great example of diversity is starting to become more apparent in fashion.
For the shoot I used a Muslim model, and dressed her in a trendy outfit, to then shoot outside in natural light. I was very happy with some of the shots that came from this shoot, and saw potential in them once edited.
For my final outcomes, I decided to create a series of photographs that portrayed a muslim model in a fashionable way, and trying to promote that modest dressing CAN be high fashion. Again, due to the lack of time, I felt my process was maybe quite rushed and if I were to do this project again with more time, I would have planned maybe a studio shoot, and more outfit changes.
