Catwalk Look 1 (Antonio Marras S/S 2016) Final Images

On above is my final images for my catwalk look 2 and I'm pleased with the final images for my catwalk look 1 because I like how the hair design looks at the back, a very feminine, delicate and also elegant look matches the theme of Antonio Marras's catwalk. I like how the earrings look with the look and the earrings link to the SS16 accessories trend. The use of the pearls and flowers link to this spring and summer 2016 trends as well. I like the hair design which I've done here as it looks elegant. For the make-up look, I think the tea stained eyes works well with the look and it reflects on SS16 trends. The dark red lips gives a feminine look while the pink gems add the ideas of youth and girly as well. 

Catwalk Look 1 Test Shoot

For my test shoot, I have experimented with two color backgrounds, black and white as I want to create a catwalk backstage photo for my catwalk Look 1. 

Black Background:

 White background:

I have decided to use the black background for my catwalk look 1 final shoot as I like the black and white contrast between the shirt which the model was wearing and the background. The black background looks more classic and I think it will suit more the theme of the catwalk show. For the hairstyle, I think I can use hairspray to fix the baby hair at the top to make a more clean finish, although on my design, I want flyaway baby hair, I just want the side to have the flyaway baby hair. I think the make-up look is fine in this test shoot and I'm pleased with the lighting as well. 

Catwalk Look 2 - Angela Missoni S/S 2016 Ready-To-Wear New York Fashion Week

Missoni's collection features African tribal style, the striped, ripple line waves and the zigzag patterns combine with ethnic patterns gives a casual, relaxing, summery and a holiday mood. The crepon, knits, cannete, openwork and silk fabrics works together very well and helps to bring the cosy atmosphere. 
Some of the models wore Converse with Missoni's garments which creates a chic look and also link to high street fashion which I think Missoni wants to make connections with a wider audience and our everyday lives. Some of the models wear sandals and they feature very flat bottoms and two toned stripes. 

Missoni has used a range of shades in this collection such as pink, grey, black, yellow, orange lilac, etc. There are several cuttings going on from the garments in this collection such as the wide leg cuttings, tailored trousers, long and knee length dresses with A-line or straight cuttings.

The collared t-shirt gives a sporty feeling to the look.

The make-up look is designed by the makeup artist Lucia Pieroni and M.A.C Cosmetics. The crayon hues on the eyelids is very iconic on this look and it gives a sporty mood but also links to the tribal theme on Missoni's collection as the bright colors are painted by fingers. The messy application on the lid and also bright color on the lid are the 2016 spring and summer trends. From the photos on above, you can see blue hues being used and it is one of the biggest trend in 2016 S/S as well. The make-up look catches my eyes when I'm looking at inspirations for my project and it is one of the reason why I choose this catwalk for my project. I like the way how the make-up looks clean and simple and the bright colors on the lids really stands out the eyes which makes the look more interesting and surprising. The make-up look links to the tribes make-up as the use of painted bright colors on the eyelids and the tribes inspired makeup also links to Missoni ideas on her garment designs.

From the interview with the hairstylist, Anthony Turner on above at the backstage of Missoni S/S 2016 Catwalk, he has explained his ideas of the hairstyles which he designed for Missoni. He has used the idea of the wig wrap hair (head wraps) method for this hairstyle to show a modern twist, chic but also a very elegant look for the style. He has first mixed the root moose and the full volume moose together and apply it onto the hair. This will help to hold the hair together and give the wet finish. After that, he comb back the hair to create a neat finish and then split the hair into two parts at the back. One half goes on the left and one half goes to the right. 
I like the idea of the head wraps hairstyle as it looks very unique and I like the way how Turner brings the idea of the method of wrapping the hair in applying the wig and turn it into a fashion look which shows a different twist in fashion and gives me the idea of being creative in different ways. 

Accessories and ornaments:

For the earrings and the rings, it features a very graphic design on the ornaments which suits the designs on the garments which Missoni has designed. The bold and graphic lines and the zig-zag patterns combined with bold shape patterns on the rings and earrings match together very well. I like the idea of the scarf on the model's neck as it matches the patterns and the colors of the garments as well.

I found out that Val Garland's works link to M.A.C as the way she likes to experiment with different colors which M.A.C does as well and also the way she is being a creative, artistic and innovative artist, it fits in with M.A.C's company ideas. Take from example, the photo on above reminds me of the Pop Art Paintings and Garland has taken inspirations from the art cultures in the past. This links to M.A.C as the brand's works also reflects historical backgrounds and also M.A.C likes to do something new and interesting and therefore, they sometimes combine the ideas of historical looks with their creativity and create a new modern version of the historical looks. I found Garland's works very inspiring and they inspires me the ideas of color matching.
