Development of the themes and moodboards for Hindu Goddess and Galactica

In this post I am going to discuss the Hindu Goddess theme which will be spring’s limited edition and Galactica which will be autumn’s limited edition. This post will explore the development of both themes.

 

 For the Hindu Goddess theme I wanted to incorporate the Hindu history and culture and the way that the Hindu religion has been translated in the western fashion world. I started by looking into the various Hindu Goddesses, their background and there appearance. (Shown below)

This gave me an initial idea for makeup, hair and styling. All the Goddesses were show in bright colours. This has given me the initial idea to incorporate bright colours into the look. I have also looked into the Holi, which is the Hindu festival of colours, which coincidently takes place in Spring. This is something that I have incorporated into my mood board and plan to include in the makeup for this look as it adds to the element of colour.

As I must ensure that this beauty look is something that is commercial and wearable, I looked into how fashion has been inspired by Hindu culture. I looked at Chanel’s A/W Bombay-Paris collection and have seen how rather then using bright colours they have used kohl around the eyes. This is something I plan to include both in my mood board and one of the looks for this theme. Chanel has also used intricate head pieces to mirror the traditional Hindu head piece, which is known as a tikka. Below shows the mood board for this theme.

 For autumns limited edition I plan to create a theme named Galactica, which will be inspired by the galaxy’s colours. This is something that is currently on trend so for my mood board and development of this theme, rather than focusing on the patter I have focused more on the colours and hews. In this mood board I have merged various colours in the background to get an idea of what colours work well together and what ones I plan to use. I have also looks at makeup that I feel reflects the theme and uses the colours of the galaxy and have incorporated them onto the mood board. By creating his mood board and exploring the theme further it has given me a clear idea of what colours I want to use for the look, which is purple, gold, silver, blue and slight hints of green.
