Inspiration

The Uncanny Valley,Stella McCartney | Inspiration for storyline

Stella McCartney's film 'The Uncanny Valley' stands out to me because it mysterious and very eye catching. It keeps the audience interested in the story but then takes them back by showing the designs and grabbing the audience attention. This is something I hope to do in my fashion film as the designs are very eye catching but I need to think about how to keep the audience engaged through the storyline.

           Gareth Pugh S/S 16 - Fashion film | Inspiration for movement

In Gareth Pugh's S/S16, the film shows only 3-4 outfits but with such movement that the audience get to see the designs in different angles. This gave me the idea to shoot the clothes from many different angles as the clothes I will be using for my designs have a lot of texture and interesting silhouettes which will be captured beautifully on camera.

AHS hotel/ inspiration for props

I have watched every season of American horror story and 'Hotel' is by far my favourite season but mainly due to the fashion. In the last few seasons the styling has always fit to match the characters and their storyline but in this season even filled with blood and creatures that will make your skin crawl the avant grade fashion never stops. In every single episode all of the characters have new eye catching outfits. This gave me inspiration to play around with the colour and the texture of the designs as well as focusing on the surroundings to keep it mysterious and interesting. 

Characters 

Lady Gaga who plays Elizabeth is the countess who has no sympathy for anyone or anything. She is surrounded by beautiful clothes and even though she is a vicious murderer in every scene her fashions sense never seems to let us down. I want the model to look fierce and powerful like Lady Gaga does in American Horror Story Hotel.
