Chosing Garments.

The next step in my final major project is to create a series of promotional images for Hepwright's.

After over an hour in Hepwrights pulling out garments that both Catherine and I wanted to be in the shoot and then trying to find a story that could link them together. 

There weres many outfit that  got taken out of the final collection and then got put back in.

I found that because Hepwrights is a one off vintage shop styling this shoot was more challenging because there arent trends as there is on the high street, there are just clothes that are similar in style because they are from one period in time.

As we didn't want to have the images based on one period in time we  have to find a story to link them.

Eventually we agreed on the garments and the theme connecting them would be a wedding or party. This meant that we could show off some of the best dresses but also accessories such as hats.

Here are some quick snaps of the garments that I picked.

 

This was my first choice of dresses that I wanted to photography I think it stood out to me because of the sequin bodice section. There was something about this dress that is timeless as it could be worn and people would not know that it was vintage.

The detail on the bottom half of this dress is fabulous. The dress had a matching jacket to go with it with the same pattern but I decided that it would work better with out the jacket.

 

Sequined tops are very much a high street trend at the moment so having a original styled one would work well in my photo shoot.  I plan on teaming this top with either pink cotton trousers or white linen ones.

 

This dress is going to be perfect for the shoot its going to stand out  and inject pattern into the images.

 

Now anybody that knows me knows that I am not a fan of the colour yellow don't ask me why I just never think it works well on people however this particular shade of pastel yellow caught my eye with its little triangle pattern on it I feel that it could bring a lot to the shoot.

 

The colour of this dress is one of my personal favourites and the cut of it will be very flattering on my models. The dress really has a party or wedding feel to it.

 

This is another sequined vest top that will be paired with the white linen trousers.

 

This jacket was only a maybe to the collection however I decided that it was worth taking to the shoot anyway as we might use it and I would probably regret it if I didn't take it.

So that was my clothes ready and sorted for my photo shoot now all I had to do was email these images to my make up artist so she could make up the face charts.
