Female Styling

-

After creating my original styling Mood board we reassessed what we wanted our outfits for the photo/video shoot to be and what garments we had available to us and so some of the original items that we were going to include changed. For female styling we decided to stick with wide leg trousers but replaced the denim jeans with black corduroy wide leg trousers as they ended up fitting better with the other styling changes we made. Also the inclusion of corduroy references the popular trend of the 1970s as corduroy was a very popular material in fashion during that time period. We also decided to swap the oversized grey sweatshirt with a cropped black tank top to include the Northern Soul trend of sports vests that people in the scene wore to the all-nighters to help them stay cool when dancing. For shoes instead of white trainers we decided on black platform Doc Martens as they link both of my and my brothers outfits together as we will both be wearing Docs, but they also contrast as my brother will wear more traditional Doc Martens and I will wear a more modern style of boot. For accessories we decided on a 70s aviator style sunglasses, a belt and stacked necklaces, all in gold to match them together. To finish the outfit we decided on a bright red windbreaker as the rest of the outfit is all black so this will add a pop of colour. It also includes a subtle link to Northern Soul as it is a very similar colour to the sign of the popular Northern Soul club Wigan Casino.

Northern Soul in Sheffield

As this module focus on Northern soul and Sheffield street style I researched the Northern Soul scene in Sheffield during the 1970s and today. Club 60 & The Esquire Club: > A club on Leadmill Road > Was formally Club 60 > Is now The Leadmill > "Club 60 was the life and soul of the Sheffield music scene. It became so popular that it eventually outgrew itself and moved to the site of the Esquire, which is now the Leadmill." > At Club 60, people could hear the latest jazz, R&B and the rapidly-spreading rock 'n' roll. The venue quickly developed a reputation as one of the north's premier talent showcases, where many artists established their careers, including Dave Berry, Frank White and Rod Stewart.

Concept Moodboard

The concept of the shoot is a brother and sister visiting their favourite locations and stores in and around Sheffield to showcase family, whilst including references to Northern Soul and Sheffield street style through the places we visit and the garments we wear. As the brother and sister in the shoot is going to be myself and my brother we are going to visit our favourite street art locations as they are a big element of Sheffield and why we like the city. We are also going to visit our favourite vintage stores, Mooch Vintage and Vulgar Vintage as we both personally love to source our fashion from vintage stores and this is also a big trend around Sheffield and Sheffield street style and a popular trend in general. We are also going to visit Bear Tree Records as my brother in particular likes to collect music on records and we can include Northern Soul music references from here.
