Black. Androgyny. Emo as fuck. Continuing the black theme we were tasked to create a photo shoot about our colour theme in pairs. Having the colour black it would be easy to follow typical stereotypes and create a emo dark dingy shoot in about 5 minutes with little thought. However we wanted to challenge this and think a lil outside the box. We thought what can we say about black thats never really translated in previous fashion texts...the fact that black is so unisex and diverse.
To translate this message we wanted to play with the idea of androgyny and how black can be wore to a boujee red carpet event or to nip down to the shop and still look cool af. We tried to translate this through choosing a street style casual look for me in black and a more dressed up chic outfit for Kay. I think this is evident that we achieved this not only through the clothing choices but also the photography. Kay's image is taken from beneath her showing she's the shit in her fur coat and better than you next to my chilled out pose looked bored and over it af.
Makeup wise we went for a simple theme of black (obviously) and translated what we had seen from research that other looks people had done to convey androgyny through makeup. We found it quite cool how although i had lots of strange black eyeshadow on it didn't look that out of the ordinary and actually gave off a cool individual vibe and style.
We were soo pleased with the outcomes and these are 3 of our faves. The filter from VSCO cam (which baffles me I have no clue how to work it) adds an extra touch and makes it look like its straight out of a UO advert to us.
