Costume Design

This first costume design has a skater like feel to it, something which I have seen become quite popular with new, upcoming indie bands of today. This look along with a t shirt of a well known classic indie rock band will be a great look for my front cover model as it will look as though they really are quite unknown, making my magazine look more professional 

This second costume design has a classic underlying indie feel to it with a modern twist. The denim jacket and white t-shirt combination is a classic good looking indie male look, by accompanying this with ripped jeans, glasses and Chelsea boots (modern indie fashion items), my front cover model will look like a typical indie music artist, which will certainly indicate  what genre of music my magazine is based upon, engaging people with an interest in said genre just from looking at my model

My third costume design is made of quite obscure fashion items, with classic indie fashion items. The checkered pants and striped t-shirt suggest a careless kind of attitude with a taste for obscure fashion, something a lot of front men of indie bands of the time seem to possess. The denim jacket, doc martens and Pete Doherty like hat suggests a typical indie attire, and a knowledge of what icons in the genre wear, making the model look like he is of an indie music background, which will appeal to my target audience.

My first female costume design takes inspiration from lead signer of Wolf Alice; Ellie Rowsell. The look is quite a grunge look because of the ripped tights and pastel colored dress, with elements of modern day indie fashion with the Dr Martens and leather jacket, combined this makes for a look that is becoming quite popular with female indie musicians.

My second female costume design is another experimental look that takes inspiration from the grunge-like side of indie music today. The classy looking shoes and top combined with the ripped tights and frayed denim shorts is a juxtaposition that many indie artists look to achieve. With my magazines audience mainly being men, the quite revealing look will tend to attract more viewers, this has been demonstrated through many a magazine, or any other media product, with a female on the cover many a time before.

My third female costume design is a more casual modern day look, combining stereotypical male fashion items with a female model. The Vans shoes and band t-shirt/flannel shirt combination is something you would find on many a male indie music artist. combined with the female jeans and female model, the look will indicate that my model is not as feminine as one would assume, which is something a lot of indie girls seem to identify with; breaking the boundaries set by gender specific fashion items.
