Chigons

Health and Safety

• Clean washed hands must always be the first thing before touching client
• Hair is tied back at all times
• Model should be wearing a apron or protected clothing
• Must check whether there is any contraindications such as sickness or infection

Equipment needed

• Hair band
• hair brush 
• Accessory of choosing
• Grips

Start of by brushing the hair to detangle and placing into a low ponytail that isn't to tight slightly loose.

Place a hole in the middle above the hair band. grab the end of the ponytail and put the hair through the hole. This should create a twisted look on either side and make the ponytail look inverted.

Do again though instead of leaving hair in a ponytail grip the hair to the head, the shape of the chigon is now created.

Add the hair accessory into the hair such as a pin that can be placed on top of the chigon. 

Chanel Catwalk Shoot 2 "Day"

Here are the final images from my male Chanel catwalk shoot. Over all I'm extremely happy with the final result and think that the look is very high fashion. The planning from the shoot's have also worked from the makeup with the bold brows. The clothing of the shoot has been styled with the inspiration of Romeo and Juliet with high clashing prints. The jewellery also was styled and included because of Chanels iconic use of Chains that are seen everywhere from bags to jackets. 

Edit with Chanel Logo for submission 

These image I'm really happy with the composition of the photography, The focus of the face and how my model is staring straight into the camera. The backing roses of the image also was something by chance but I think are a homage to Romeo and Juliet and look extremely romantic against the bright clothing.

 I looked at shooting outside because of the recent Chanel Couture SS16 which was a set inspired by a eco environment of greenery and a make shift wooden structure which held the models in the finale. I think the catwalk show has really shown how artistic and creative the boundaries of high fashion can be. Just because its catwalk doesn't mean it should be in studio space.

Shoot 2 mood Board and Facial charts

Mood Board 

For the mood of my second Catwalk shoot which is for the day time version of this project I decided to create a board that both referenced the Chanel inspiration from the clashing clothing to the bold brows against the youthful skin. I also decided to add the movie reference of Romeo and Juliet 1996 By Baz Luhrmann as it is seen as a incredibly iconic stylish film. The use of making my second shoot also using a male modern is a test and interesting.

I decided to show inspiration from Romeo and Juliet not just because of the fashion which show cased clashing prints which I felt Chanel also did but because of the youthfulness of the film. The hair DiCaprio is so rocking with the swept back messy hair will be featured onto my model. What made me find connections with Romeo and Juliet and the styling of Chanel whom in previous shows  shows a lot of clashing prints and colours even the latest LA Sunrise beauty campaign is featured in the location of Verona Beach in the modern day take on the iconic tragedy 

 Looking at previous Chanel Shows such as the picture on the left of the S/S 15 Couture show the makeup of the model is pristine and evenly covered showing a youthful glow. I didn't want the makeup to be heavy. In the mood board I have shown a idea look that I really like and will explore within my face charts. Big brows is a extremely fashionable look and can be seen on multiple runways; even as Chanel whom regularly used Cara Delevingne really highlight the large brow trend. 

The image on the left at the bottom is a image from the Lazy oaf look book. I really like the over all look of this shoot with the natural lighting setting a pleasant detail onto the models face. The lighting isn't harsh either of artificial like what I think can sometimes be from shooting in studio space. I will be shooting outside as I think my camera picks it up well and I will be shooting in the holidays.

Facial Charts

The top face chart was created because I wanted to create a look where the base was perfect against a slightly stubbled face also I think would be nice as the male models on the Chanel catwalk really have a range of different looks and some have beards when others are clean shaven in the recent Chanel Resort show in Seoul the male models I've noticed are clean shaven or bearded this add's more personality I believe to the final looks. 

The middle face chart is more a pristine makeup look with the perfect base that is perfectly balanced without look to heavy. The cheeks are bronzed have a healthy glow

The last facial chart is my favourite. All the similar elements from the original charts are there but with this the standout part of the makeup is the super bold brows which are coloured blue to show Chanel's iconic colour scheme. I really like this look and believe it to look like something Chanel could possibly use. Brow's are important and adding colour to the makeup I think makes it more interesting

Shoot 1 final Image 'Night'

Edit with Chanel Logo for submission 

The final image from my first shoot for the project which I designed for a Catwalk evening look. I decided to aim this image towards a more evening look because of the mood boards that I had created featuring New York. I imagined my model to be at a bar in her Chanel clothing and unique hair styling. The eye makeup also is rich and definitely something that is meant for the evening strutting down late night New York streets.

Over all I'm really happy with the makeup it was a thought out shoot with detailing and something that I had been planning for a little while especially after looking and creating a number of facial charts that could also fit into the shoot. I'm happy that I decided the one I did as it suits the models colourings. 

 Photographing the look was more stressful as a I wanted a fresh and clear finish to the photography but feel that the final effect is dewy though clear against the purple background. I originally planned on using a blue backdrop but sadly on the day there was only a purple lilac tone which was disappointed but couldn't be helped. I think a blue backdrop would of worked better but I do really like the purple as it warms the final imagery up and theres a pleasant shading on the right side of the jacket.

The pose of my model I know is very positioned but from some previous shots to look like in action poses as in to act like my model was mid walk I felt the final images weren't ideal. For a evening inspired catwalk look the grabbing of the jacket is believable in the image. 

Shoot 1 Mood board and Face Charts

The mood board for this shoot is inspired by the shows that I am basing the entire shoot on from previous shows which I have been inspired by. I wanted the feel of pure luxury fashion to come out from the mood board featuring gold chains and the blue ribbons which will be featured in the hair style. 

This Mood board was created with the thoughts behind how I wanted the shoot to feel. I was inspired by previous shows but I also wanted there to be clear references of the lifestyle that exists with such expensive clothing. I was thinking of the television series Gossip Girl when I designed the collage. Lavish lifestyles where money isn't a option and the queens of New York are like beautiful lionesses. 

Face Chart Designs 

The designs I have created for this particular shoot were all inspired by the catwalk shows that I had previously researched from Ready to wear shows.


The top face chart was a little bit of fun to create I was focusing on blues originally for my design but then I thought of the inclusion of creating spring colouring into my design. With the same wants and features of heavy eyes and heavy blush detailing on the cheeks this time I used a green to represent the new growth of spring. The products that I was looking at for the eyes were from the La Roc palettes as there is a lot of colour choice with the palettes (summer tone) The cheeks are also illamasqua cream brush that would look great against the hue of the eye shading. 


The second design I felt was on more of a right track which what I had previously designed into my mind of what I wanted to achieve with the catwalk look. Heavy blue eyes that worked really great with the Chanel look. My model is blonde and I think the colouring would look great on her. The cheek bones this time are a heavier bronzed look as I wanted to see what a slightly more sculpted look could be created.

The final face chart was a design inspired by both of the designs above incorporating the blue popping eyes and then the heavy blushed cheekbones; I feel like this design sticks more to the original quality I wanted from the shoot. This will be the chart that I use for my final design. The skin will be achieved using layering technique with face and body. The eyeshadow with be primed with Mac 24hr eye and then with Urban Decay Vice and La roc summer tones palette finished with a powdered high light. The lips are very naturally finished as I didn't want the look to be to extreme and full on makeup wise. The model should still be reflected underneath the makeup. Chanel is all about the youthfulness. 

Chanel Presentation

In class as part of a introduction about what we ourselves wanted to do and had picked as brands for the project we were given the task of creating a short presentation based on our aims and looks that we wanted to create for the six final imagery shoots.

With each slot we were told to give a little information about the brand that we had decided to pick with my obvious choice being Chanel; It was nice to share our plans with the class and see how everyone was getting on with the begging's of their projects.

"I decided to choose Chanel as my brand for the project because I loved the depth and areas that I would be allowed to go into. On one hand Chanel’s advertising can show a range of foundation products that look natural and dewy on the skin whilst in areas such as catwalk Chanel can be experimental and extreme with looks from colourful bold eyeliners to bright lips. I also find that the editorial shoots can be more experimental with there themes and locations.Chanel has been a huge fashion house for over a hundred years; the brand has covered so many different trends we start to see similarity's and connections from old shows to present release."

Which was what I wrote about Chanel and why I chose them as a brand to do for the project which of course is very important to get correct grade and learning wise being second year students.
The main image of this piece was on the page for my Catwalk looks on the slide I didn't write any text instead I spoke about how though in completely different seasons and years there are always certain similarities when it comes to Chanel catwalks from the giant fashion house; In all the shows above all the looks have busy eye makeup that is the main focus of the makeup. Ranging in different palette's and application this is a obvious note to take when it comes to planning my own shoots.

Timed Assessment

In class as part of the project we had to create a chosen catwalk look onto our partner for a graded time assessment. For me it made sense to do my current and first shoot idea as I had already spend some time creating the look. 

The hair design was just a little sketch that I came up with to help represent what I wanted from the hair that was already in my mind. I wanted there to be texture in the hair and volume. Like what I had researched in the Ready to wear Chanel show of AW14/15 the hair had structure and neatness at the front of the hair but the pony tail isn't perfect and has different lengths and textures in. The materials that I used were all found at the store fabric land. In total there were two different blue ribbon shades in her hair a gold chain material and the lovely and very Chanel I felt material of the chain and pearl with I folded around the hair. The ribbon were fastened by loom bands as I wanted another inclusion of colours and youthfulness into the look like the stacked up brightly coloured glass bottle shelving of the supermarket set Chanel produced. 

I'm really happy with the final makeup and hair for this assessment. I feel like the final work produced in exactly what I wanted to achieve. The skin is pretty neat using the face and body and the placement of the cheek blush has worked well. Before I had done a test shoot and looked at using powder instead of cream for the cheeks and felt like it hadn't gone well in the final imagery. The cream blusher was a lot easier to use and blend into the face. The eyeshadow and mascara also I felt worked well from the high intensity of colouring that really popped out from the makeup. The mascara that I used was a Miss Sporty branded turquoise one which was a really good buy as I was surprised with how pigmented it was.
