At Uni I am part of a Student Steering Group that works closely with a new ethnic friendly fashion jewellery company -
Miss Beau Bangles
The group works on many different aspects of the company from the designing new products, working on the website, marketing, photography of products to styling the accessories into an outfit.
As the company is new they look for the cheapest way possible to promote their business. Today in the fashion world one main way to do this is through
LOOKBOOK. Over
1 million people visit this fashion site per month, meaning the looks and styles that are created and shared can be viewed by other
fashionistas all over the word.
For the start of 2012 we were asked to choose products from the current Winter collection to accessorise an outfit, then conduct a mini photo shoot and then the photos are uploaded to LookBook for the world to be introduced to Miss Beau Bangles. This also allowed great practice in advance of the group gathering images for the website launch of the Spring/Summer 2012 collection.
I decided to use the following products:
Glass Heart Earrings
Embellished Brass Bracelet
Pretty Pastels Bracelet
Long Chain Link and Ribbon
Glass Heart Ring
I think these all hard a real feminine and vintage and I liked how the pastel colours worked together. As soon as I seen them I just KNEW the outfit that I would create.
This is the photo shoot outcome of my final outfit idea:
I decided to add a Sepia and Antique Effect on some of the photos as I think it added to the effect of the look. I think the shoot has a Fairy tale feel to it and it reminds me of the childhood film The Secret Garden.
For this being my first styling and shoot experience I am pretty pleased with the outcome, but there is always room for improvement and I look forward to doing so in the future.
