2nd Outfit Choice

My 2^nd Outfit Choice

When it came to my second outfit choice I wanted something that is more outgoing and fits the ’typical’ conventions of an R&B/Hip Hop female artist. Starting with the shoes, I decided to choose these pair of boots as it connotes that she’s going out to a party or a club. However in my artist’s situation she actually won't be going out to any special occasion. I researched and watch various music videos and noticed that most of the artist who aren’t going out to parties, but just hanging out with their friends are still dressed up to impress. This would also be the reason for the outfit as a whole. R&B/Hip Hop consists of showing power and wealth in any way possible, and one of these approaches would be through the way they dress. I therefore decided to add the leather jacket to this outfit to help emphasise the artist power, making her seem more dominant. I also found out that those within the

industry and are female are known for showing some skin. For this reason I didn't want my model to feel too uncomfortable, so I therefore decided to choose a crop top for her. Therefore making her seems more ‘sexy’ in a way, as well as suiting the conventions for the Male Gaze.
