Costume Ideas

This costume idea would be good to use in my pop magazine as it is very feminine and girly. This is displayed through the pastel pink colour of the shorts, bold statement pink necklace and floral patterned kimono. The top has a shell shaped cut-out at the top to add more detail and femininity to a typically plain white top, which hints at the creative side of the reader. The costume goes well with the pop genre as it is fashionable, appeals to a younger audience as it is on-trend and fun looking, and has an uplifting colour scheme which goes with the style of pop music.

I like this costume as it has a bright, floral, flowing skirt which is loose fitting, making the costume more age appropriate. The brogues and socks give the costume a more mature feel, but the small heels on the shoes keep it girly looking. The top is baggy and oversized but tucked into the skirt to show off more of the colour print, and there are a pair of rainbow coloured reflective sunglasses tucked into the top to give the costume a relaxed, casual look, which works with how readers of pop magazines would be quite free due to the fact their occupation is school. This would appeal to young girls as the colour scheme makes it obviously feminine and it is also something which famous pop artists would wear, making the audience want to be like them.

This costume would go well with my magazine as it has summery, small pink printed flower pattern over it which is reminiscent of a young child’s outfit. The dress is in a strappy sundress style and is not fitted but flowing so that it is not too revealing. This links with the youthful pattern on the dress. The white purse also co-ordinates with the costume and adds to the femininity, though also connotes the idea of purity and innocence which comes with youth. This is why this costume would go well in the magazine- as it is appropriate for the target audience and fits with the image of the magazine.

These ballet-pump/brogue style shoes are appropriate for my magazine as they are in a baby pink colour which the target audience would like due to the fact that it is a typically feminine colour. There are also heart cut-outs printed over the shoe which adds to this soft, girly image. The ribbon used as laces is a unique feminine touch and adds to the imaginative personality of the target audience. They would work well in the magazine as they are cute and stylish which is what the audience would be drawn to.

The costumes above are all ideas which could be put into my magazine, as they all reflect the personalities of the readership. They all represent the fun and feminine personality of the reader, and how she is confident in who she is though at the same time maintains her youth through the way the costumes are never too revealing or provocative.
