Rorient; my trend

The two trends I am merging is Oriental Express and Rock. I decided to put these two together as there so different but I think they go very well together.

I took Oriental Express from New Look as they are currently doing this trend.

''Inspired by the late 1920’s obsession with the orient, watercolour pastel shades of blush pink, lavender and blue reign supreme for a delicate take on deco. The definition of day to night glamour, shimmering fabrics and sequin textures are accented by pale faux fur whilst oriental winter florals bring an undoubtedly feminine feel to these frosted hues.''

Then I decided to add Rock as it has always been one of my favorite trends.

mannequins

Most of the time when there is more than 3 mannequins in a shop window the shop make it so that they interact with each other like you would with friends or family. In this case the mannequins look like there representing independent women who look like there showing of what they are wearing with there strong and bold standing.


Here is another group of mannequins, in this scenario they are all together, it has been set out that they are in an actual scene with them socializing with each other. I feel like this is more appealing when walking past a window as it looks like there has been put in a lot of time and effort to create this e.g. how they position the mannequins rather than just standing them on boxes.

Tim Walker video

Here is a video by Tim Walker called Fashion Story; Lady Grey.

Backstage Video of the photo shooting appeared on Vogue Italia March 2010 issue.

His photographs are taking inspiration by different fairy tales. By watching this video I would say it is inspired by Swan Lake. The ouifits, hair and makeup are all very extravagant. Even by the picture you can see the big wig and the big dress,

The purpose of having this setting is that it is very unique as it has a dark twist on classic stories and very appealing as most people want to see how he has took his idea and made it happen.
