Costume and Prop Research and Planning



To clearly convey that my magazine is of the Pop-Punk genre,  I have researched into the latest fashion trends within the genre. A primary colour within the clothing style is black and leather is a featured material. Leather features itself in items such as boots and leather jackets. Other colours which appear frequently within the Pop-Punk style are white and red, these colours being featured in checked flannel shirts. Black T-shirts are sometimes printed with graphic designs of band names or logos and are often tucked into black skirts when looking at the female side of the genres fashion.

Hair within the Pop-Punk genre tends to be of unnatural colours or black and the male hairstyles appear long, uncontrolled and messy.

Make-up within the genre consists of dark eyeliner and eyeshadow, combined with the application of dark lipstick or gloss. In terms of jewelry, bracelets are worn in a great quantity. A recent fashion trend in the Pop-Punk genre are choker necklaces.

Costume Research

I will have Three models for my front cover so I need to find three similar costume ideas for my models to wear. For my contents page I will need to find a secondary costume choice to represent a different band or artist. I plan on making my costumes appear casual to make the fashion choices relatable to the reader, allowing them to replicate the main image within their own look but with their own interpretation. My models and I have different variations of my costume ideas, such as flannel shirts and leather jackets. So I can request my models to bring their costumes to change in to and I shall bring my own costume for my secondary costume idea.
