PHOTO ONE DEVELOPMENT - SAMI

As me (Samantha) Sian + Melissa, met quickly on Tuesday, we are really keen to go with the Lunch Upon a Skyscraper idea....absolutely brilliant photo, totally iconic, and it's not the obvious choice for a fashion shoot! 
We were thinking of having girls 'appear' to be on a skyscraper, doing girlie things like nails, etc. 
I thought an iconic era in fashion is the 1920's, The 1920s is the decade in which fashion entered the modern era. It was the decade in which women first abandoned the more restricting fashions of past years and began to wear more comfortable clothes (such as short skirts or trousers). The 1920s are characterized by two distinct periods of fashion. In the early part of the decade, change was slow, as many were reluctant to adopt new styles. From 1925, the public passionately embraced the styles associated with the Roaring Twenties. These styles continue to characterize fashion until early in 1932.




It's also quite controversial what the women were doing, so having them be glamourous sat amongst a skyscraper for the world to be would be outrageous. Adding depth and a concept to our images, not just a pretty photo! Which is how photography sells, which is what we're trying to learn!




Chicago - iconic movie incorporates all the flapper style, classic glamour - showbiz!
