fashion and tattoos.
every fashion campaign, catwalk show, photo shoot, editorial has some sort of history to it, whether it be historic, fictional or a collaboration of the two.
Designers have created some of the world's best shows by researching and fact-finding through out our country's and in fact the world's past times.
for example; take a look at the Maori designs.
, simple design but yet very intricate.
simple and unique enough to be the main focus of a entire fashion show.
Rodarte took inspiration from the Maori tribe which originates in New Zealand. Images such as the ones above inspired the makeup artist 'Chantel Miller' to pain the catwalk model's arms and necks.
He didn't just keep it in the makeup and hair design Rordate incorporated this into the designs of the clothing and into the hair design.
The hairstylist Odile Gilbert was inspired by the Native Americans. To add texture and volume, she started with mousse. Then she added a volumising powder and by the looks of things lots of it, this was to create a matted effect. She then pinned the hair back, leaving a section in the back free, to give the illusion of a braid.
Finally, a piece of thin, nearly sheer, black wool was draped on and held in place by hair spray.

Rodarte has been very clever when designing this fashion catwalk show. by incorporating the dark, subtle lighting, the heavy beat music with the models walking to the beat of the music - it all adds effect with the finishing outcome. Really creates the mood. Which is very important for the viewer to watch.
By all models walking in different directions, the heavy music; it gives the audience a real insight into the show and really captures what Rodarte was trying to create.
