Looking at the type of fashion associated with alternative rock, I have decided for my music artists I am going to dress them in dark clothing which I can see through my research appears to be a big statement. I may include a denim jacket but I feel I will look at this in more detail later on when I look at who I will be featuring and whether this style will work with their appearance. I am going to include red lipstick as I feel it will be a nice counterbalance with the dark clothing and I can see it is worn in my example images and I also feel it will work with my future colour palette of black, white and red for the front cover of my magazine. I am planning on asking my models to wear black or grey clothing (typically displayed in alternative rock fashion) without any slogans or catchphrases on it as I feel this will take away the attention from the statement the artist is presenting to the audience. Also, alternative rock is about the individual having their own fashion statement and not conforming to the trends so I need to ensure this message is shown in the artist’s image by presenting the fact they are dressing in the way they want rather than dressing to what is seen as fashionable in modern day society.
