This Sunday Tom Ford will be hosting his cocktail party ahead of his well awaited preview to his collection of womens wear, people from all around the world have been waiting for the tickets to this event and no doubt it could possibly get feisty in the heat to see his long awaited collection.

Top model Lou Doillon has confirmed that she will be modelling some of Tom's S/S collection.



Industry insiders and top editors along with a vast majority of the world will be travelling to New York to see the impeccable shows and it is also apparent that Alexander Wang is having their own fun fair at the show and the fantastically stunning Britney Spears will be performing for POP magazines party aswell.......

our model....

this is an image of the model i sourced. as you can see she is a very natural organic person who i thought can project the tank girl images across very well.

defeated

the army are defeated.... its the melt down.... the clothes have a good contrast against the brick wall.....

cigar break....

a cigar break from the hard work of fighting for your team. the smoke coming out is a great shot.

the big fight.....

man down man down..... an adult reinactment and reminiscing of ones childhood.... i chose jadie to be my model because she has an organic tom boy look and i thought would look fantastic in the shoot.

pose shots....

i like this pose..... a pose of stature. a feisty dominant pose.

our photoshoot.... tank girl theme...

we came up with the idea once we got on location of havin a shot of one of the army toys really close up to the camera and having our model standing really far back. but that didnt work out because of how the sun was setting.

my props for the shoot....

these are the props i have sourced for my tank girl photoshoot. a pair of girly pink and white doc martins and a pair of brown builder type boots. a range of funky studded belts. 2 types of bikini tops to possibly wear. a pair of blue denim shorts and i bought a white top from primark and a tank girl logo was transferred on to it. ray ban aviators. a karki jacket. headphones.army hat. a toy tank, a toy rhino and toy soldiers. ski goggles. a tutu. a water gun and a hip flask. i think ive named everything i have sourced..... for our shoot we wanted to go for a childish theme and have those characteristics in out shoot..... like a grown up misbehaving child.... we scrapped the romantic idea..... to cleche i thought..... and i am happy with this idea and could be a better one.

scene...

its a slight love scene.... could be used as part of an idea....

incorporating the target with the shoot....

i dont want the shoot as seedy as this i want it more of a current day comic slightly.... in a way 'taking the micky' as what a comic does....

fan inspiration

funky tights is a possiblity....

helmet!!

i like the idea of having a helmet for our photoshoot

ripped blue jeans.....

red beads.... cross earring.... blonde braided hair....

comic....

i was thinking for the make up of the shoot and would be good for our model to have pale skin and very dark lipstick...

tank girl fans....

here are fans pictures on the facebook fan page for tank girl..... and possibly inspiration for my shoot....:)
 
this picture of the t-shirt is painted on with stencil...



this is an old and battered picture of a fan....



a leather jacket which is being sold on ebay....


this i just found funny yet somehow relavent to this project....

dash snow....

dash snow does a lot of self portraiture but experiments within different scenes....



pillowcase feathers scene....

rita ackermann....

rita is a model who represents different characters and she really goes to town on it and she can look completely different....

richard prince........

i like the idea of writing jokes on high fashion accessories..... an idea to consider for the shoot. possible an in joke or a writen joke...
