The Blonds FW 13. (2013). [image] Available at: http://fakebrandy.blogspot.co.uk/2013/02/horror-films-from-designers-blonds.html [Accessed 7 Apr. 2016].
In this collection, the make-up features bold cat-eye make-up, nude lips and messy blonde hair. I feel that this look is inspired heavily by the blonde women who frequently featured in Alfred Hitchcock's horror films. The look is over dramatised for a high impact look and contrasts against the black and red colour scheme used throughout the collection.
Not only do I find the hair and make-up inspiring to a classic blond bombshell often used in such genre, but also the splattered blood used to shock and juxtapose with the hair and make-up.
Something which I feel is notable to the look is that all the skin tones that feature are pale, but yellow tones in the platinum hair tend to feature more when the skin is ever so slightly darker. I feel that this is to match the tone of the hair closely to the skin so that they blend together and make the clothes stand out more against them.
The collection follows Horror from a large spectrum, from Gothic Horror with classic concepts such as Vampires, Mummies and Psychos and then direct inspiration from modern horror with films such as 'The Shining', 'Pscyho' and 'The Birds'. I hope to use this collection as inspiration from the two briefs as due to the horror influences being both old and new.
