Model, Outfit and Make-Up

My model for my shoot is Bryony Reynolds, I decided to choose her as my model because her look was perfect for what I wanted in my shoot. She has a bob haircut and a full fringe, which is a recurrent theme in Zandra's collections.

 I definitely want to keep the Zandra Rhodes theme when deciding on outfits and hair and make-up for my model. What i have found throughout my research is that Rhodes experiments with a lot of bright colours and patterns, and i found an amazing dress on boohoo.com that I thought would be perfect for the shoot.

The dress has a lot going on in terms of the colours it inhabits and the patterns used, I chose this particular dress because as soon as I laid eyes on it it screamed Zandra to me. The under skirt stands out against the bodice which will look really nice when the model has it on, i think it will look great in the shoot and really reflect the look i am trying to achieve. 

The second dress i chose is my models own dress, it is a plain, purple flowy dress. I chose this particular one as i didn't want another crazy patterned dress, but i still wanted to keep a colour that Zandra tends to use in her collections.

The dress is very simple, with just a black belt but the ideas that i have for the models hair and make up will make the outfit stand out overall.

I want to use very bright make up on my model, bright eye shadows, red lipstick, bright pink blush, fake eyelashes. From doing my research into Rhodes i have found that this is a recurrent theme that she uses in her catwalk shows and in her photo shoots for her collections. I want to make it my own, by experimenting with different colours to get my desired look.

In terms of hair, what i have found throughout looking into Rhodes' collections is that she uses wigs on her models, so i have ordered a blue bob wig from eBay  it may clash with the outfits I'm using, but it is a statement piece that Zandra uses and I really want to embody what her collection demonstrates.

In terms of accessories, I'm sticking with bright colours and using bright pink and purple feather earrings and colourful bracelets to compliment both dresses. I also want to experiment with sunglasses in my shoot as i have seen some of rhodes models wearing them and i think it really sets the look off. The shoes i have chosen are a black and gold wedge for the multi-coloured dress and a purple criss-cross heel for the purple dress.
