Catwalk photo shoot - 1

The Hair

The hair for shoot one has been inspired by the Chanel ready to wear AW14/15 show which was featured in a the historic Grand Palais in Paris that was set up to look up like a supermarket. Chanel though a huge fashion house still is creative and really pushes the surrealism that they can create in their catwalk shows. I felt that this hair would be great for my catwalk inspired shoot because I liked the different textures that I would be able to create with the hair; a unique pony tail with a range of materials in that I would purchase from fabric shops. The materials in the hair colour wise was a colourful range but for me I want to look at using colours that really are classic to the brand so blues and golds. I also want to plait the hair just to add some more dimension to it much like the crimping from the show above. 

The Makeup 

The makeup for this shoot has been inspired by a range of previous shows which I think can be developed into a new makeup look. For this shoot I want to use a lot of blue because from my previous posts I have noticed a clear connection between the tone and Chanel itself. From the images I've used from the Ready to wear SS15 and the Ready to wear SS16 shows which both feature heavy eye makeup with perfect skin.  I'm gonna use a highlight on top of the blue just to add more of a metallic finish to the eye which I think will look really great on camera and make the dimension's of the blue shades really stand out. The blue shading's will be from my Urban Decay Vice Palette and my La Roc summer tones palette. 

The skin itself will be a even coverage that covers imperfections much like the perfect skin of the models for the catwalk. The cheeks I wanted to accentuate the cheekbones adding a bit of colouring like the Chanel couture AW13/14 show (the bottom photo). I believe that the more extreme cheeks will really work with my already youthful look adding another pop of colour to look I will be using the colouring of a Illamasqua cream blusher in Libido which is a orangey finish and think would look great on my model who I've already picked.

The outfit 

The main piece of clothing that I shall be definitely feature in my shoot is this dress from the clothing brand TBA. The pom pom detailing of this dress I feel would look awesome in my catwalk shoot as I feel like the dress look's expensive and has resemblance's of Chanel fashion with the breast pocket detailing and the zip down the middle which in my mind resembles a Chanel jacket. The pom pom detailing also adds a really modern and playful feel to the outfit which I feel will match the makeup choices.
