Collar

As a group we decided that the images would be a series of portraits therefore I only needed to consider styling the upper body. One idea that we were all very keen on was some form of collar. As we wanted to show the progression from a dream to a nightmare they styling had to remain the same in each image whilst the hair and make-up got more and more intense. I made a collar out of two bow-ties stitched together and then stitched them to a piece of cable-knit fabric that stretched tightly around the neck. I think it references the dreamlike feeling but it also translates well as a more sinister collar when thinking about clowns and villains etc they are associated with bow-ties.
