Styling

For my photo shoot, my model will be wearing the top I am re making but I want to also fully style the rest of the out fit and setting. I could simply photograph the top as this is the main piece I have worked on and therefore would be the center of the viewers focus, but instead I feel like by putting as much effort into the rest of the outfit, a theme will be made evident. I have decided to dress my model in black suit trousers after researching historic, fashion icons and noticing they broke gender barriers. I have also chosen to keep the background extremely simple due to the inspiration from the American Apparel adverts. I hope this will provide enough contrast in colour (black and white) to allow the top to become an highly focused element of the photographs. By doing this, the main detailing will be on the top also, therefore this will also allow people to focus on the top I created.
