Kate Moss Fashion Bible

When researching fashion images, I came across the cover spread for 'W Magazine' that Kate Moss had graced, named 'Spring's Fashion Bible'. I was in awe of the composition, the styling and the makeup that had been created for the various looks throughout the shoot. Shot by Steven Klein, W Magazine offer the reader the choice of a saintly or sinful protagonist.

I chose to include these shots as I felt that the simplicity of the makeup was extremely inspiring. I fell in love with the use of blood red lips in the above shot, and the almost sexual nature that this evokes. The dark red juxtaposes the almost virginal white of Kate's skin and teamed with the luxurious black lace, creates a dark and austere shot.

I was drawn to the shot above for the luminous skin that has been created. The face has been flawlessly highlighted to create an angelic and glowing look. I found this extremely inspiring and think that it may be something that I come to consider when creating the makeup looks for my  shoots.

I was particularly drawn to the styling of this shot. The contrast between the connotations to what is universally known as a Nun's attire sand the overtly sexual, PVC material are a styling choice that instantly intrigued me. Perhaps this could be a way of conveying the religious themes of 'Oranges are Not the Only Fruit' whilst also expressing the highly sexual nature of my chosen character, Jess.
