garment description

ADORE ME: A collection directly inspired by the human body and cosmetic surgery, highlighting the shape of the body and capturing the glamour and beauty of the human body, wether real or fake. Using fully up cycled materials, with shades of blue denims with deep red accents, patchwork details represent the procedure of surgery, and how we alter our bodies to fit the toxic beauty standards. This collection is a painful reminder that pain is beauty.

digital design boards

To further inspire myself within the design and appearance of my final physical design boards, and to also develop my skills further within marketing, I decided to create some digital designs boards to accompany my collection. To do this, I used the app Canva, which I had never used before. As I had never used this app, I wasn’t sure if my design boards would be as visually appealing as I hoped, however, after experimenting within the app, I was very happy with the results.

experimentation with design boards

Below are some images showing my experimentation with the layout and appearance of my design boards. To fully capture and translate the vibe of my collection further through my design boards, I wanted to include different aspects of my inspiration. This included patches of the materials I had used, such as my extra chosen garment and different denims, as well as coloured card and bandages. I also printed some text off to include in my design boards, inspired directly by the artist Barbara Kruger. I wanted to keep my design boards a little more simpler this unit, as I felt it would look better appearance wise with my designs, and allow the focus to ultimately be on my designs.

photoshoot mood boards

Below is the mood board for my photoshoot, showing inspiration I wanted to use for my photoshoot. This includes hair, makeup and poses.

Mood board for hair and makeup in my photoshoot:

In my photoshoot, I want to achieve a very glamourous look inspired by the after effects of cosmetic surgery. To achieve the stereotypical surgery look, I plan to buy bandages, which I will wrap around my models face. I also plan to use eyeshadow to create a bruising effect on the nose and beneath the eyes, which is common within many facial cosmetic procedures, specifically nose jobs. I plan to pair this with a bold red lip, to create a glamorous look, which I feel will fully tie the look together, as it will pair well with the red details throughout my garments.
