The document describes the costume, hair, and makeup choices for two band members, Molly and Alex, and how these elements convey aspects of the band's style and music. For Molly, the lead singer, black clothes, heavy eye makeup, and a feathered head dress are meant to portray the band's music as serious, unconventional, and mysterious. Alex's outfit includes black clothes contrasted with bright accessories, backcombed hair, and minimal makeup to have a retro, edgy yet playful style fitting for an indie band. The document draws inspiration from other indie artists to replicate suitable looks for each member.

What it conveys
The black
jacket/skirt/tights
are all very plain and
basic as to not draw
attention away from
her face. It also,
portrays Molly as not
being over the top.
Furthermore, the
colour black also
connotes danger and
seriousness. This will
therefore, portray
Molly and the bands
music as being serious
about their music.
The converse stick to
the convention of
indie musicians who
are often
seen
wearing
shoes
such as
converse
and vans.

therefore conveys the
bands music as being
slightly playful and
fun additionally the
headdress stand’s out
against Molly’s black
clothes.
I’ve chosen a gold
chain for Molly to
wear as to shy away
from being too plain
and make’s her outfit
look slightly edgy and
retro. This element
will convey the bands
music as also being
slightly edgy and
having a vintage
element to it just
like most indie bands
do.
I’ve decided to have
Mollys hair natural
and down, as she has
naturally curly and
frizzy hair.
Therefore, I feel it
would suit the band
better if she were to
have it down as it
conveys her as being
quite wild and fun.
Lorde who is an Indie
female singer also
replicates this style
making her look wild
and mysterious. This
is what I would like
to mimic.

3. Make up
Heavy eye
makeup
Natural skin
and lips
Molly’s makeup is
heavy and dark as it
makes her look
slightly mysterious
therefore, conveying
the rest of the band
as being unusual and
mysterious.
I’ve drawn
inspiration, from
Florence Welch’s eye
makeup as she is an
indie singer, who
often wears heavy eye
makeup making her look
mysterious and
alluring.

again, portray the

The frayed denim
shorts add a
slightly edgy and
punk feel to Alex’s
look connoting her
as being
rebellious.
However, I will
contrast this with
the bright necklace
she will wear which
will make her
outfit look playful
and fun as well as
looking young and
cool.
The converse stick
to the convention
of indie musicians
who are often seen

5. wearing shoes such
as converse and
vans.
Alex will be
wearing lots of
rings and earrings
as it presents her
as being
unconventional just
like the band. I’ve
drawn inspiration
from Natasha Khan
(Bat for Lashes)
who is known for
wearing a lot of
jewellery.
This will make Alex
look cool and her
style will fit in
with the Indie
style genre.
Alex, will wear a
floral headdress,
which will make her
look girly and
contrast her dark
clothes and edgy
shorts and
jewellery. I’ve
drawn inspiration
from Lana del Rey
who often contrasts
her edgy style with
floral crowns.

6. Hair
Make up
Straight partly
backcombed
Eyeliner and dark
lips
Simple foundation
and contouring
Alex’s hair will be
straight as to
avoid looking too
similar to Molly.
However, I have
decided that I will
back comb the top
of it to give
height to her hair
and make her look
slightly vintage.
This will convey
her and the band as
having a retro
element to their
music.
As Molly will have
dramatic eyes I
don’t want to draw
attention away from
her, as she is the
lead singer. Due to
this, I will keep
Alex’s eye makeup
quite minimal.
However, this will
work well as it
coincides with
Alex’s vintage
look.
