Fashion Magazine

So it's official. Hailey and I will be doing a Fashion Magazine. Honestly, I'm excited. I think I'm the most excited about the photoshoot we are planning for our original images. Hailey said she wanted her photoshoot to be at a pier by the beach, where the models will be wearing sundresses. So I guess she wants her magazine to be more of a summer showcase. 

I want mine to be something more like New York Fashion Week, where the models will be wearing runway-worthy items. I will be taking a LOTT of inspiration from the fashion show Project Runway, because their outfits are always very unique and interesting. I'm not sure where I'm going to get the clothes from, because I don't own any pieces that are that unique. The only clothing I own that is runway worthy are like dresses from homecoming or my Sweet 16, but I'm not sure if they're cut out for that. 

We were planning on using some of our friends as models, but they are in Media Studies and have their own projects, so I'm not sure if we are allowed to feature them in ours. For example, I wanted to model for Hailey's summer collection magazine, and we also were recruiting our other friend who is doing a Film Opening to model as well. I suppose I will have to clear that up with my teacher. 

I realize that I have mentioned my teacher many times, but I have never said her name. Since you guys are going to be on this long journey with me, I've decided it's essential for you guys to get familiar with some people. You already know Hailey Sanchez, my partner. My teacher's name is Brooke Acosta, but we call her Ms. Acosta. And my friend who is doing the Film Opening is Addisyn Kostzer.

But anyways, I got a bit off topic there. What I need to focus on now is exploring different fashion magazines that feature runway outfits, and unique cover pages. What I need is inspiration. 

After some research, I found some magazines that fit my criteria, and were just as unique as I liked:

I also found some that were a little more simple, and less eccentric.

The first cover, the one from Allure, where the lady has those super long lashes strangely reminded me off the movie The Hunger Games. The characters that lived in the capitol, or the richest city in Panem (their country), dressed exotic and eccentric, similar to the first magazine. After noticing this similarity, I realized I could also use characters from the Hunger Games for inspiration. 

As you can see from these low-quality images, the characters of the Hunger Games tend to exotic clothing. This type of fashion also reminded me of the Met Gala this past year:

Lady Gaga also wore exotic clothing, so I will also be using her as inspiration. The next step is to begin thinking of a name for my magazine, because every good fashion magazine has a cool name. 

Thanks so much for tuning in, catch you later!
