Style Inspiration

Futuristic vs anti-futuristic is the style for the next photo shoot, the movement thats dominating fashion at the moment as seen by Burberry in their A/W 14/15 collection. The idea of combining both futuristic and anti-futuristic in one shoot backing up my overall concept of opposition and texture contrast. Futuristic is all about rubbers and neoprene, whilst anti-futuristic returns to handcrafting and natural fibres like lace with a bit of boho style in the mix.

Inspiration for Shoot

Texture Mood Board

Contrasting textures and fabrics will be a strong element within photo shoot. A lot of sheer fabrics, pleats and lace, detail being placed over the body.

Rogan Brown's work is an exploration and re-presentation of natural organic forms both mineral and vegetal creating vastly intricate paper models. Rogan looks for patterns and repeated motifs that run through natural phenomena at different scales, from the microscopic to the macroscopic. 

"The tree which moves some to tears of joy is in the eyes of others only a green thing that stands in the way. Some see nature all ridicule and deformity... and some scarce see nature at all. But to the eyes of a man of imagination, nature is imagination itself". - William Blake 

Anne Sofia Madsen

Anne Sofia Madsen's vision: A wish to show the well-known through the un-known and to use traditional handcraft methods and couture techniques within ready-to-wear. Anne experiments with materials such as leather applied to a fine mesh base, built-up collars with unconventional patterns, and hand-drawn illustrations printed digitally on silk or wool fabrics.

The consistent play with contrast and materials creates a look of mixed toughness and fragility. 

Anne's work consists of using only black and white within her collections, the use of texture amongst her designs is beautiful and gives full impact of contrast. After coming across Anne's work it has given me an idea to create texture and contrast amongst garments used within my photo shoot of placing garments on the body, this will allow another element of contrast and opposition to be captured within my images.
