The summer project 

This summer I had the opportunity to create a mood board showing where I would like to be in the next 5 years. This got me thinking, “Where exactly do I want to be in the next 5 years?” Fast and foremost I want to have graduated with a fast in BA make-up and hair design. Then hopefully get the chance to work with one of the top make-up company like Illamasqua, M.A.C, or Charles fox. Also I would love to get the opportunity to work in films and the fashion week.  But all in all am open to new opportunity’s this career has to offer.  

Also for the summer project I watched two films, The Great Gatsby and Breakfast at Tiffany’s.

The Great Gatsby 

The great Gatsby

The great Gatsby is a romantic tragedy, a classic literature aiming to show us what life was like in the second century

For any fashion lover, the great Gatsby is a must see.it is full of beautiful classic looks which takes your breath away. All the costumes worn by Daisy (played by caray milligan) are breathtaking and get better and better each time. All the main looks filched in the films are both classy and modern at the sometime, which allows the looks to stand the test of time. Then there is the jewel which stands out; from the big ring Daisy we see on Daisy when she is fast introduced to us in the film, to purls and ornaments worn by her at the party which compliments her crystal- beaded gown worn for the big party.

All the costume worn and the make-up done in the film reflected the Raoul of each character. Daisy’s cloths reflect her as the beautiful woman the girl next door, the one whose beauty captivates you. In the film she is the trophy wife. In the other hand there is Daisy’s friend, she is more settle in her dressing she is mostly in sleek and more natural makeup which gives her a more serious but loveable look, which fits perfectly with her character.  Then there is the mistress, always dressed in very colorful loud cloths and more seductive make-up which depicted her as a wild woman matching perfectly with her character.

The man, dressed immaculately in suits. From Gatsby who has a more colorful wardrobe which we see when he tosses his shirts to Daisy on the bed and is pink suits to Daisy’s husband who is seen more in black and white suits. Both the styles are very classy yet can be and is being worn up to this day.

The costume designer in this film was Catherine martin, the assistant costume design was Silvan Azzi Haras; The costume supervisor was Kerry Thompson; The makeup designer was Maurizio Silvi and the hair designer was Kerry Warn. 

Breakfast at tiffany’s

Breakfast at tiffanies is a romantic classic. It is based on a novel by Truman Copote. In the film Audrey Hepdurn who plays Holly, is an independent woman who douse not need anyone but uses men for their money, so one could call her an Amrican geisha

This film made little black dress fashionable. now every woman has that black little dress in their closet and it’s all thanks to this film

In the makeup is kept simple and classy in the film, but one thing that stand out to me is the hair up do that holly douse. The hair style is elegant and be worn as a day look and as well as an evening look.

The makeup artist in this film was Wally Wesmore, The hair designer was Nellie Manley and the fashion stylist was by Edith Hed and Hubort Givcnchy
