For the costume we have decided to go for a vintage theme to incorporate the 80's into our video but also incorporating the indie style. The clothes I have decided on are not only vintage but are also stylish with today's fashion, tying it in with the 21st century as opposed to completely trying to recreate the 80's. Here are some of the costumes...
A military Doc Marten style boot to recreate the 80's vibe. This makes connotations to the 80's as Doc Martens were very popular at the time, especially amongst the skinhead culture. Also our main character/band member already owns a pair of these boots so they will be easy to get hold of to use.
I am considering using loafers as they are a vintage style which has been recently brought back in to fashion today. It is also an indie look which will compliment our genre.
Cable Knit Jumpers/Cricket style jumpers are on indie trend, and Cable knit jumpers are also vintage so will create the older style we are aiming for. It will be easy to get hold of as our character already owns one.
Denim Shirts and Checked Shirts are a casual and vintage look which is also an indie trend. The smiths themselves also regularly wear shirts and blazers, so this is reassuring that it is a look that will compliment the 80's inspired style we are going for. Thick framed glasses (left) give the outfit the Morrissey 'Look'.
The vintage 'Geek' look will also add to the 80's vibe, with a blazer, dickie bow, black jeans and shirt paired with the thick framed glasses. This will also create irony in the video as he is very mischievous and troublesome, and this formal outfit would usually make connotations to being sensible and intelligent. The preppy look is also very fashionable this season so will appeal to the indie audience. I used www.lookbook.nu to find inspiration for the outfits. I found this inspiring as they are looks i can recreate with the clothes Jordan already owns.
