Costumes

I'm not too fussy when it comes to the clothes as long as they're in the style of my target audience. This provides a wide range of clothing choices. I have yet to talk to my models about what clothes they own in this style, and I'll also be looking through my own wardrobe to see what I have, but here are the examples of what I'm looking for.

Fair isle or patterned jumpers, jumper dresses and cardigans such as:

I know that one of my models, Cassie, has a lot of jumpers in this style and she also dresses in a lot of Topman clothes. I chose her because her style suits the magazine and its audience.

Shorts coupled with tights, like in the image above, fit my audience's style. Patterned tights/leggings also work, as well as knee-high socks, such as:

Shoes wise, I'm looking for boots, brogues or converses, such as:

Also, Drop Dead is a clothing line that's favourited by my audience, especially because it's the clothing brand of Bring Me The Horizon vocalist Oli Sykes:

For jewellery, I'm looking for vintage, kooky and slightly edgy jewellery:

Overall, there is definitely an emphasis on knit wear and the look is quite vintage and kitsch, with edgy connotations from the rock influence.  

I'll most probably make another blog post on costumes when I've conferred with my models on what clothing they have.
