Muse

                           MUSE Intro




Outside the locked doors of your home sweet home, reveals some of the worlds most bizarre people. This is referred to their hobbies, beliefs, attractions, and in my case my friend Kat Loizou who has not only grown up into having the most deviant taste,but the way in which she chooses to adorn herself.
Born into an average family,  Kat once said she would once take after her compassionate mother who works as a nurse, and her father who runs his own fashion business in cyprus, selling the most lush,flamboyant, bridal dresses consisting of the worlds most enhancing emboridery.Kat always had an exceptional eye for colour.

But all of this changed for her at the start of secondary school.  Where she joined a youth club outside of school became a part of a group, forming a great companionship with all of them. Settling in, they decided to form their own rock band, entering competitions and become heavily influenced by their shady  and barbaric appearance, she even entered the secondary school building plastered with excessive amounts of eye makeup and sooty black lipstick. This cause quite alot of affliction amongst her fellow classmates and teachers and even her parents, she felt as though she was being marginalised from the rest of the crowd and this led to the abuse of drugs and self harm.

After a while, she overcame the dilemma and reaction of others and decided that she will only adorn herself how she wants, as this is what makes her happy.

My moodboard

Im very much into bold, vibrant colours, and intricate details, as you can tell from my choice of images on this moodboard.
I've chosen mostly fashion icons and garments which consist of luminous shades and interesting, geometric patterns

Hannah's choice of images contain very interesting detailed and stylish garments.
Judging by the patterns, she takes an interest in geometric colours, aswell as sophisticated menswear which included mostly muted tones.
