Fashion Theory

Who decides what in fashion?

The designers of high end fashion, trend predictors, bloggers decide what’s in fashion by looking at what going on around them e.g. celebrities, politics etc.

What is classic fashion?

Classic fashion is a type of fashion that doesn’t have a trend so it wouldn’t finish e.g. jeans, white shirts, black dress etc.

Write the stages of the trickle down/bubble up fashion.

Bubble up fashion is trend that starts of in the streets then is recognised by bloggers and celebrities and eventually becomes a trend that commonly done in the high end industries. the trickle down fashion is type of fashion that is done by high end designers that is then inspired by bloggers and is finally sold in high streets and worn by people in the streets.

My personal photo-shoot plan

I will need:

Model
Photographer
Location
Garment
Makeup and hair 
Accessories

The model that I chose is friend that attends the same college as me, the model is called Andriana. I have chosen that model for my garment because she has the look that I wanted from her and also she has a friendly personality. The photographer that I have chosen is also a student at the Oldham College, she is called Laura Birbeck, and I’ve chosen that photographer because I’ve worked with her before in my last project. She’s a very good photographer and she’s also responsible and reliable.

Once I found the photographer and a model, I had to decide the location of the shoot, which suits me, the photographer and the model. The location of my photo-shoot is the Oldham college studio, the equipment that I will need for the photo-shoot is going to be provide by the Oldham College because Laura is going to book the camera and studio for the shoot.

The garment that’s going to be used on the photo-shoot is going to be used in the shoot will be provided by me, the garment is a short dress that above the knees and has long fabric at the back that trails behind it, and the accessories for the shoot will be provided by the model, The accessories that I need for the shoot are high heels that are gold or blue. The last thing that I have planned is the type of poses that will be used in the shoot. The types of poses that have planned are like serious but professional type poses that are done on the catwalks.

Mood board of the photo-shoot

This is a moodboard that I edited using photoshop, on this this I got images that will inspire to oragnise my photoshot. it will give me diferent ideas for diferent poses that my model can do, and also I've got images for the acessories she could bring along with her in photoshoot. I've also researched on some images of the location of my photoshoot, and the make-up that could be done on her in the show. Within this moodboard I've also included the colour palette of my theme that because it'll give the makeup artists, photograpers ideas.   

How to organise a photo-shoot

You will need:

·         Theme

·         Model

·         Makeup and hair dresser

·         Location

 

If you want to organise photo-shoot follow my top tips and they will give you ideas and inspiration to improve your shoot. Firstly make sure you make a mood board of images that will give you inspiration of pauses and garments that could include in your shoot. Those images can be from fashion magazines, internet, books or even images of other designers work or famous models. Or you can even start without making too many preparations in the start you can just tell your model to bring some clothes and your makeup artist can do her makeup accordingly.   

After you have an idea of what your theme is then start thinking about where you can find your model and what you want from her. There are many ways of finding a model you can look for some on modelling agencies but unfortunately that option isn’t really budget friendly. You can also look for someone within your friends or family it doesn’t matter if they don’t look like supermodels as long as they have the look that fits your theme. But most importantly make sure your model knows what she’s doing, if she doesn’t don’t worry you can read something on posing or beauty shoot where it’s less about the body and more about beauty.

The other thing that most important people that you’ll need for photo-shoot are makeup artists and hair dressers, they will help the boost the beauty of the model or crazy depending on the look you want. They are also helpful in noticing little detail that you’ve missed out like the hair on the face, or makeup that needs redoing etc. you can find people that study hair dressing or makeup will be keen in working with you because they will need images for their portfolio, or you can ask a model if she has anyone in mind that she can contact for you.

The other thing that’s important and the hardest thing to decide is the location because everyone has to be there at the same time and date that suits everyone. While you’re deciding make sure you keep in mind where your shoot will take place e.g. outdoors, indoors or in a studio and also consider where the model will get changed and where you will do her make up. While you are deciding make sure you get the contact details of everyone involved and day before message everyone to confirm the shoot. If you’re shooting outside and make sure you have a plan B just in case if the weathers bad and day before the shoot make sure all your equipment is ready clean and charged for the big day.

On the big day make sure you don’t get disappointed of little things, if you do notice something go wrong fix it but get too caught up with the moment and forget to direct when it’s needed. Most importantly communicate with the model and make sure she feels relaxed and content, because if she looks award then then the image wouldn’t work. If you’re hosting an event be nice, offer everyone at least a glass of water or cup of tea and remember thing are not going your way don’t be upset and make everyone feel bad instead take it as challenge.
