Welcome back!
I can't believe that as I'm typing this, I only have just over three weeks left studying and living in
New York City. Finals are creeping up on me, but thankfully a couple of my classes are a lot more hands on and creative giving me a bit of a break from all of the assignments and revision!
Last week I completed the third phase of my Styling For Visual Presentation class.
The Runway Shoot.
Each group was responsible for researching and selecting a dominant trend that is apparent on the high street at the present time. We then had to put together three complete looks showcasing said trend. As a group, we decided to go for 'Oversized Knitwear' as it seems to be taking over in stores like H&M and Zara. Although we had one key trend as the main focus for the shoot, we also decided to incorporate others that we were aware of.
Each of our three outfits incorporated layering to some extent, mainly through tying a chunky knit sweater around the waist of a completed outfit to give it a bit more edge. In terms of makeup, everything was kept minimal apart from our extreme use of highlight on the models cheek bones, brow bones, bridge of the nose, upper lip and the inner corners of her eyes. This is in keeping with the trend 'strobing' that I'm sure most if not all of you will be aware of. She had beautifully thick and defined eyebrows already but I used an eyebrow mascara to fan them out so that they became a stronger and more prominent feature on her face. For each look we decided to have her hair relatively straight in the middle parting, tucked in to the neckline of our garments as it kept it out of her face accentuating the highlight on her skin while also drawing more attention to the outfits themselves. As you'll see in the pictures below, we wanted their to be continuity in terms of the tones throughout the outfits. Everything is kept very neutral which worked out amazingly. I'm done talking for now - take a peek at the mixture of behind the scenes and final images below!
I'm sure you'll all agree that our model Andrea is absolutely stunning and knows exactly how to walk the runway. The night of the shoot was the first time I met her and she was unbelievably sweet - thank you so much if you're reading this! Next week we'll be completing an on-location shoot with her as our model again, I already can't wait to share the final pictures with you all!
Love, Lana Skye x
