FOREST CHILD
Photographer Emily Soto : www.EmilySoto.com
Model: Fern @Profile Models London
Stylist: Amanda Brown
Makeup and Hair: Julia Wren using Clarins and Bumble and Bumble
In the editorial “forest child,” the model is dressed in all white, similarly the photos are strictly in black and white. This emits a feeling of innocence and also ironically it seems a loss of innocence i.e. graveyard. Putting a spin on the “forest child” aspect, I choose instead to highlight the colorful spirit of innocence, reveling in chaos and glory of innocence. There is nothing as carefree and colorfully joyful as a child’s innocence.
PORTIONSDue to the oversized nature of the skirt and shawl, I chose to accentuate her small frame with the bandeau top. For-going a shirt, I prevented her from get-ting lost in the clothes. Furthermore, with the model’s figure being boyish border-ing on androgynous, the top pulls forth womanliness, helping to create curves and sexuality. The bandeau top in com-bination with the way the long flowing skirt hangs low on the hips, elongates the torso. Finally, the necklaces and bracelets help balance the longitude of the outfit.
