This was a second year BA (Hons) Fashion Design module called 'Styling for Editorial' in which we had to develop a concept to communication trends for S/S 2011, for a particular editorial publication. I focused my photo shoot towards the fashion, beauty and art editorial WOUND magazine.
My initial concepts revolved around the film Wicker Park and numerous piece of photography and art. Looking at how light and dark could create illusion and how people can transform themselves.
As the project began to develop, I started to look into more impostor type angles, looking into real life con artists and impostors. Trying to figure out how they could get away with so much and for a time, without any suspicion.
I also explored multiple personality disorder and in particular the book A Fractured Mind, by Robert B. Oxnam. This honest account of a life with MPD is an eye opening account of the minds ability to protect itself and how one human body can be inhabited by several levels of consciousness. It is honestly one of the most intriguing stories I have ever read!
I used all of this information to comprise what type of fabric textures to include, what sort of shadows to cast and overall encourage the feeling of more than one presence.
So these are my final pages for WOUND magazine, concept, styling and post production all by yours truly, spilt into two individual shoots featuring models Ali Lomas & Joanna Young.
I adore these photographs! x
