ORSCHEL-READ AT LONDON FASHION WEEK

These are some photos of backstage where i was helping out at the Orschel-Reid show i felt these were the most useful as it showed the men either looking particularly feminine, or even seeing ther shine of their lipgloss.

The dull, monotone colors of the bauhaus graphics are influencial for our own choice of colour. The style of the black and white imagery is dipicted in our final photoshoot.

Bauhaus Building. Photographed by Walter Gropius

During a recent trip to Berling, I visited the Bauhaus Museum. The Bauhaus school combined crafts and the fine arts to develop an individual simplistic style of design. The Bauhaus style quickly became one of the most influential art movements in Modernist architecture and modern design. It influenced art, architecture, graphic design, photography and typography, interior and industrial design. The first image I took of the outside of the museum. The achitectural design is clean, simple and slightly industrial, the line of the building are linear and smooth. The secong 2 images are from postcards, taken by Bauhaus founder Walter Gropius. The old, dull black and white photographs link with the style of photography that we have been looking at for our project. The buildings are industrial and quite simple in design making them look similar and generic, we are translating this similar theme through our own photography.

Androgynous hair

The idea of both models having similar slicked back hair came from the unisex hairstyles that are on the catwalk at the moment. In this photo the hairstyles on this male model are quite feminine with long fringes or curls.

The clean parting and tight to the head look of this hairstyle is very masculine.

As a twist to a slicked back hairstyle, using water to make the hair look wet will give another dimension to the hairstyle on our models.

Again another slicked back style but this time with a quiff.

Androgynous makeup

Bold eyebrows give a masculine look to even the most feminine faces.
Matt, simple foundation with little or no blusher, and darker eyes.
Very little eye shadow or mascara to keep the eyes masculine.

We liked the brushed up effect of these eyebrows. They are the most dominant feature on the models' faces. Very masculine but also original.
