Costume Designing WK 4 POST 3

Clothing

In Fashion and lifestyle magazines such as Vogue, etc., commonly seen are women wearing professional/formal attire and specific outfits with different themes, from traditional to bright colors. The clothing worn by the model usually compliments the color scheme of the cover and can add life to the cover pages. I think for my magazine, dressing in a majority of formal clothing will make the magazine seem too formal and rigid when my magazine is trying to emulate a very bright, youthful look. I probably won't incorporate some aspects of formal clothing into my models, but I think I will go for more a casual and trendy look. 

I want my models to wear more useful clothing, such as low-rise jeans, long tank tops, and fitted crop tube tops. I want my models to accentuate and exemplify the 21st-century trends in teenagers in 2025. Accessories I would want my models to display would be dainty jewelry for example. I want to incorporate different color themes, such as bright and vibrant and other combinations. I really like the look of light pink, light blue, and light yellow colors, I think it brings out the warmth in the skin and compliments very well with sunlight if the photo shoot is taken at sunset. Patterns mixed with white/bright colors and pastels also give a sunkissed look. I want my models to have a range of dresses, tops, skirts, etc. mixed and matched together. 

Hair

For my magazine, I want to use youthful hairstyles to create a cute and visually appealing look on camera. Styles like loose curls, braided pigtails, space buns, and half-up ponytails will add a fun and effortless touch, perfectly matching the magazine’s feminine and youthful theme. These hairstyles will not only highlight the models' features but also add movement and depth to the photos, making them feel more natural and lively. To enhance the overall aesthetic, I’ll incorporate trendy hair accessories such as pastel-colored clips and ribbons. By choosing these styles, I hope to give the magazine a fresh, stylish, and charming look.

Jewelry 

For my magazine, I want to use simple jewelry pieces that don’t distract from the models but instead enhance their overall look. I will primarily choose dainty jewelry, as it adds a delicate touch that complements the outfits without being overpowering. I’m particularly drawn to gold jewelry because it conveys a sense of status and luxury while also helping to warm up the complexion, giving the models a naturally sun-kissed and radiant appearance. 

Makeup

For my magazine photoshoot, I plan to have my models wear sun-kissed and clean girl makeup to enhance their natural beauty and add to the youthful, fresh aesthetic of the magazine. The sun-kissed makeup look will feature warm, glowy tones with bronzed cheeks, soft peachy blush, and a dewy highlight to create the effect of naturally radiant skin. This will give the models a healthy, luminous glow, making them appear effortlessly vibrant. The clean girl makeup look, with its minimal and polished approach, will focus on fresh, hydrated skin, feathered brows, subtle mascara, and a hint of gloss for a naturally flawless finish. Together, these makeup styles will enhance the soft, youthful, and effortlessly chic vibe of the magazine, making the models look radiant and timeless on camera.
