Female character: KatyMain style inspiration: Alexa Chung (model, T.V presenter, DJ)

The lead female character in our film opening will have a similar quirky, individual style to Alexa Chung. Alexa is well known in the fashion circuit for mastering unique and sometimes crazy outfits which evoke an ‘indie/bohemian’ edge. It is her preppy, laid back look that we want Katy to evoke.

Alexa’s typical outfit would normally include a nod to masculine tailoring such as, brogues, blazer, satchel and collar, but she would add a feminine touch through a flash of paisley prints, a short skirt, lace detail or ribbons. We don’t have the same access to designer brands that Alexa is lucky enough to have; therefore we will look to the high street (e.g. Urban Outfitters, Topshop, and River Island) for similar styles.

The actress that will play Katy, Amelia Walker, is already known for her creative style so we can use some of her own clothes to recreate Alexa’s look. Essentially it is people with this artistic style that we want our film to appeal to; therefore if we use a style which they can identify with, then they will more likely want to watch our film.

Male character: LukeMain style inspiration: Eddie Redmayne (actor, model)

Eddie Redmayne’s style optimises the classic British ‘public schoolboy’ image. For the character of Luke we would like to roughen up this representation to make it more rustic and less smart. Typical clothes would include; blazer, chinos, brogues, knitted jumper, and shirt. We will look towards shops such as Topman for high street influences. Luke’s style is going to be less creative than Katy’s as he is the quieter one in the relationship.
