Fashion Collaboration Research 2

Giorgio Armani

I like the saturated blue in these pictures and the texture of the waistcoat on the left, the necklace top on the right reminds me of a coat of shells or something.

This image is really stylish, the hat covering the models eyes is an icon. The expression is almost of mourning with the down pointing face and the hand on the heart. It is a bold strong image that really shows off the hat and subtly points out the fishnet face.

I don't like the left arm as when I look at this image in 2015 it looks like she is taking a 'selfie'.

Peacock has taken his feathers off. The light is very specific on the model, letting no light spill onto the head that works with the illusion of the peacock having to take off its feathers. The picture signifies the personality under the persona of fashion.

Again I chose this photograph as I am keeping the insect theme in mind. The puffed out garment reminds me of a fly's body. The curves in the cloth pull my imagination into this vision. 

The face covered by the hat, with fishnet face. This images are much stronger and the model is showing a stronger side to the personality. Thick black and white works well for the roundness of the hat and the neck-tie.

I feel the image on the left works best as it has more contrast. but also less going on allowing the viewer to focus right on the scene. The model is showing a playful side by posing with her arms on her hips.
The framing works really well as the arms and hat keep the image symmetrical. The bow offsets this perfectly and engages the eye so one can follow the tie through the image.
