A fashion appropriation:

So how are we going to achieve a fashion appropriation: well...We are going to appropriate the Beatles style in the early 1960s, which consisted of formal wear, e.g black and grey suits. And model this male formal styling on women = Androgynous style.

The Beatles:

The type of formal styling, we really like as a group because its versatile and can be adapted to a woman's style. However in the 1960s I doubt you would see a woman wearing a suit, so our editorial could be a statement to show how styles have changed for women due to modernisation and changes in society?

In many high street shops at the moment formal styling is quite on trend and is accessible for us to go and get for our models :

for example:

Zara.. wide leg trouser 

TopShop: Blazer

Basically work wear or smart/ casual wear can easily be bought and I think as a group we can easily style our model to look like she was the 5th Beatle :). There are a variety of colours out there at the moment, maybe some neutrals like camel or beige or maybe the opposite like grey and marl? The black suits are iconic and we defiantly want to use them but as we discussed we don't really need to exactly copy them, we are just using them as a foundation inspiration block.
