You may remember from around late June time? or was it July... I am not entirely sure to be honest, either way, the month is irrelevant at this moment in time. I'm more bothered about the month on its way over, September is only days away and that is when the new college term starts! It's not even the new term that frightens me, it's the new college year! The LAST college year...
Anyway, moving on...
As I was saying...
June/July I completed my final garment, it was based around Androgyny and Vintage Vivienne Westwood with a message about feeding super skinny models to try and bring attention to the still increasing level of young adults and teenagers suffering eating disorders influenced by the fashion industry and media.
In September I will be shooting my final garment how I planned to present it on the catwalk, well, how I would have in an ideal world anyway.
With it being Androgynous I figured being original was the only way forward, so I wont be modelling my work on a dainty, beautiful and idealistic female model. But a male model, a tall, broad and unusually featured young male. 23 to be exact at 6ft2 with big blue eyes, a pout that would give Kiera Knightley and Kate Moss a run for their money and cheek bones that even Andrej Prejic would pay for... See where I'm going with the comparisons? They're all females, well, except Andrej but then again as a fellow Androgynous model he may as well be female.
It was Andrej Prejic that inspired me in the very first place way back when as they say so it seemed ironic to end where we started off, with a man, that has features of both feminine and masculine that doesn't wander on to the trans side of life! I would like to make that quite clear yet again, cross dressing, transsexualism and Androgyny are all COMPLETELY DIFFERENT looks and can not be confused at this stage.
Anyway, my head shots and experimentation's for the final shoot once back at college are as follow. Let me know what you think!
