When I began this project I searched the internet for inspiration for my collection and to see if any other designers had tackled the topic of the & deadly sins. Apart from photography and hair and make up artistry work I found very little.
America's next top model did a 7 Deadly sins inspired shoot which looked amazing. I particularly found the colour use and the way the shoot was done brilliant and thought it directed the message very well. I will consider something like this for my own shoot when I finish my & deadly sins collection.
I found a designer/stylist in New York who had tackled the 7 deadly sins project as part of a Charity fashion show. I think the individual design work is brilliant and well thought out as well as the photography. I love the depth and truth that stands out from the photographs. I will definitely be keeping this idea in mind for inspiration of my own work. I particularly like the "Sloth" photo with all the cobwebs, I think the message is very powerful and I will definitely put this in forward and try it in my own Sloth photoshoot.
I do however feel the collection is too miss-matched in fabric and style. My collection will be using of similar fabrics and print as well as similar in design. With using so many prints and colours I feel there needs to be some similarity for it to represent a collection.
I do applaud this work though as I feel each garment got the message across without any confusion.
Today I went location hunting for my Apocalyptic photo shoot. I drove around and looked at old walls, buildings and overgrown rundown scenery. i found a few different places that I like but the best one was my dads farm. There was a section in the cow shed that had a blank wall; it was rusty and dirty and would be a great back drop for my photo shoot, all I need now is some props and add ins to set my scene. I also chose this location as it has electricity, lighting, a roof and walls. all these things will help should the weather continue to be awful.
As I spent a lot of time looking for my perfect location I thought I would share my photos with you all.

This back drop is my favourite
This will be great to burn a fire in
Love this old wall and rusty railings
This place would have been great but I couldn't find the owners.
The old regal cinema would have been a great place to shoot but I just found out it's due to be ripped down in the upcoming weeks.
