Costume & Props Research

Here are some examples of holiday inspired clothes that I might consider using in my magazine. I am aiming to use shorts, playsuits, dresses and colours which signify fun, exhiliration and partying.

These shorts would be suitable as they are quirky and signify fun and youthfulness. I can imagine one of my models looking tanned, and beautiful which would encourage people to buy the magazine to look at the fashion as well as the music. 

I really like this play suit and think that it would be appropriate for one of my models to wear a play suit as they represent fun, fashion and personality which are all connotations of my own magazine. The colour of the play suit will have to represent the connotations of my magazine(holidays). 

As denim is becoming fashionable once again a denim shirt would be ideal for one of my models to wear on location as they are likely to be worn tied on a night out or on holiday, therefore it allows the readers to relate to their fashion in contrast to if they all wore catwalk designers.  

A brooch like this adds individuality, class, and glamour to an outfit. You can wear them on bags, shirts and sometimes on shorts. These style of brooches will be ideal for my magazine as it represents both fashion originality and personality. 

These heals represent attitude and they are fierce and fashionable. People would go to clubs wearing these as they attract the attention of many and are also basic and could be worn with many outfits. 

These sandals would be ideal to use for my model as they are fashionable, black and gold which are associated with the 'blingers' tribe and yet at the same time they are also able to be worn on holiday which is another connotation of my magazine overall. 

I want my model Poppy Oldham to wear these earrings as she is representing the RnB and Hip hop culture in my magazine. She has attitude and the ability to wear these earrings to attract attention. 

These flip flops are just a basic idea of what people wear on holiday and these could represent many clubbers on the beach or when they are in clubs on holiday. 

This shape of bikini is ideal as it is sexy and stylish. The colour may be too dark and doesn't stand out as much as I would like therefore, I will aim to find a bikini that is more suitable. 

This bandeau dress is ideal for my photo shoot the pattern is quirky and the mixture of colours really emphasises personality. This is the type of pattern that I would like Poppy to wear for the shoot or something along the same lines.
