Horror In Fashion

Rather than just looking at the more obvious, gore side of horror I had a look into the fashion side. The side that sparks my interest. Out of the few images we were given I chose to look at Westwoods approach in her London Fashion week SS14 . The looseness of the marks interested me - you don't see it very often, hair and make up is seen as being precise and less expressive than it should be. It reminded me of just taking a brush to a canvas and simply getting lost in it - I liked it - It was different.

This was one of the looks in Vivienne Westwood's SS14 show, The make up was applied with sponges and sometimes a dense feather to create a dramatic look.

THIS WAS MY ATTEMPT

I am really happy with the way this has turned out however I feel some of my marks could have been a little bit sharper, for example around the eye. I also applied slightly too much black to some ares but quite frankly I don't think it particularly messes up the design at all but it's just not what the original looked like. I really did enjoy this lesson it showed us another route to go down if we were interested. I would of loved to go down a more fashion side I just don't think my idea would suit it all that well.
