Creating the look

In our recent double lesson Kirstin was absent for the first period and therefore Jodi and I worked together to try and carry on with our project as much as possible. As noted within previous posts kelly clarkson released this single back in 2004 therefore the styles and fashion and appearence of the artists would be different to those today. We felt that repesentation through fashion was an aspect we must consider.

Taking this into account we assesed the general fashion stylings of Miss Kelly Clarkson and how she adapts her look to match her pop/rock music genre. In order to establish the look which we needed to represent though our artist we researched for some images which showed these stylings.

To begin with we both looked at several well known images of Clarkson and what we could tie in about the images which showed a general house style and a similar connection which reflected the artists genre.

Here are the images which we have assessed:

Assessing all three images we can see a clear style emerging for what is a fair haired woman focusing more upon her pop nature with a combination of dark clothing and dark eye make up in order to reflect her darker rock genre of her pop rock label.

Within the images there are minor adaptations to trends of the time, and with Miss Clarkson's career she has been able to become more experimental with her image. When Because of you was released in the early 21st century we saw Kelly as this more Pop based image with fair blonde hair but still aspects of rock though when we look towards the images of more recent shoots we see a darker woman with not so fair and with a more experimental rock image combining corsets and flamboyant rock genre dresses.

However we decided to focus more upon the image of when the single Because of You was released and for this reason we looked to find a currently emerging star who holds a keen eye for the pop/rock fashion for this reason i suggested we looked into using more Pixie Lott as the style icon for our more up to date Miss Clarkson.

Our next task was researching images of Pixie Lott and working with Jodi's wardrobe in order to recreate this look.

Here are our images of Pixie Lott:

In these images we can see the common style emerging of Miss Lott possessing her light fair hair and darkish eye make up. Along with this we noted the use of boots in combination with the majority of outfits. Another keen trend for this look is short shorts, short dresses and skirts. Another aspect is often the clothes will be of a darker colour or combine dark clothing choices with small aspects of light clothing choices.

Once we had taken note of these aspects we looked to how we could combine them in our work to create the image. We already had our artist as Jodi Grundy who has rather Fair blonde hair therefore we decided wed just work with her wardrobe to recreate these looks.

For make-up we decided that Jodi would wear a simple combination of :

-Foundation (to create a clear healthy complexion of almost perfection)

-Bronzer (to illuminate the skin and give a healthy glow)

-Mascara (to lengthen the lashes and create a glamourous feminine look)

-Black Eyeshadow (to create the dark rock image)

As mentioned we also looked at the wardrobe choice and therefore i asked Jodi to work with these looks which we discovered of Pixie Lott and see what she could come up with from her own wardrobe. Jodi searched around and came up with a few clothing choices of which i suggested she uploaded images of to Facebook so that the rest of the group could look and assess them to ensure we all agreed on the look. As you can see from the images Jodi has worked with the ideas of leg appeal and darker clothing with only small aspects of light clothing. Here are the images of these choices:
