Styling

Styling Workshop

Today we worked with Mimi in a styling workshop, I chose to customise a pair of my old jeans. I wanted to create a look that channels a particular personality. I chose to use Max as my model so I wanted to create a look that really expressed his interests and personality. He always dresses in a very unique way, he takes risks with is looks and is bold with his choices. For this reason, I knew I wanted to draw some flames on the jeans however I wanted to put a modern twist on it by drawing the flames out in a large pixilated way. I then used a bold black marker to draw traditional flames over the top to reflect the style of his tattoos. Max is also a very open person and doesn't hold back, he also has many different layers to his personality. This is why I wanted to cut off one leg of the jeans so that they can be worn as just the one leg to make a more revealing look or over the top of another item of clothing to create different layers and dimensions.

These are the images that I took of Max wearing the jeans, I let him pose in ways that he felt comfortable because I wanted his personality to shine through. I wanted the photos to come out as authentic as possible and true to him.
