If time allowed and I had the resources, I would
have liked to do a much bigger shoot that tells a story, but unfortunately I am
unable to do this. Instead, I am going to plan the shoot in my book to show
what I would have created.
The story behind the potential photo shoot is a
science lab experiment, an experiment to try and enhance the human form that
then went wrong. The protruding spine featured in my coat would be a side
effect from this. I envisioned the model to be extremely skinny not for the
usual reasons why many fashion houses choose these types of models, but because
it gives off the effect of mistreatment and malnourishment that may actually
occur if illegal experiments were taking place.
This image is actually from the popular TV series breaking bad, which depicts a Lab, intended to make crystal meth. I quite like the dirtiness of it, and I think could work really well alongside the theme. The only negative that I can think of is where my piece is very dark in colour, I think it might blend in to the background to much, by using a white (modern) Lab it might do the opposite, but maybe this isn't a good thing.
I also thought about incorporating something that has seemed to occur quite a lot when asking people for feedback on my piece. Just from looking at the final garment many of my peers have commented saying that it looks like the skeleton of a dinosaur, and in all honesty and can really see where they are coming from.
I think the use of an albino model for this photo
shoot would look amazing. When people think of experiments, we visualise white
rats with pink eyes being tested on, so using models such as Shaun Ross and
Diandra Forrest the audience pick up on the convention and gather what the
story is trying to tell them a lot faster.
