Clothing & Accessories Mood Boards

I decided to crack on and create a couple of mood boards on Photoshop. I have focused on a few key items taken from my previous post as these are very current items seen on the catwalk and on the high street today! This will help us greatly when sourcing garments/accessories for the shoot as we may have similar items in our own wardrobes.


Desperately Seeking Susan Trailer

So as I haven't watched the film yet, I decided to look at clips on You Tube to initially understand what the film is about and get involved with brainstorming for ideas for the shoot.

Here's the trailer to the film:



Just from watching this trailer, there is a distinct 80's fashion style apparent....key items include:

  • Layering Lace (gloves, hair scarf, top)
  • Sheer (top with bra on show underneath)
  • Bra (straps are on-show quite a lot)
  • Bustier
  • Red Lipstick
  • Black Sunglasses (wayfarer style)
  • Pyramid Jacket (there is a scene about a particular jacket which is important to include)
  • Necklaces (lots of silver necklaces piled on top of each other & choker)
  • Crosses/Studs (on jewellery e.g. rosemary beads, shoes and clothing)
  • Hair Scarf
  • Leggings
  • Cigarette

The overall look is very grungy and the colour palette is mainly black with a hint of silver embellishment and the odd splash of colour every now and then. The hair style is shaggy and unkempt with black roots and blonde ends.

Group meeting tomorrow.

After today's lesson, there will be a group meeting tomorrow 12pm at Cesca's house to arrange a mood board of ideas, location, styling etc.. I will be creating an agenda of things we have to get through tomorrow so we can move this project on smoothly and swiftly.
