The style of my potential magazine will be mostly inspired by musicians, not just other magazines.
Therefore, the style of the actual person/people on the cover will be mostly inspired by the legend Kurt Cobain- and Nirvana in general. One of the many beautiful things about Kurt Cobain is that he literally did not care what he wore or what he looked like. He still, however, managed to pull off any piece of clothing at all-even pyjamas- and looked Godly. One of the reasons why I hope to achieve this particular style for the cover 'model' is because I don't want the assential first impression to be that it's fake, or looks-based. Of course, the magazine would not be fashion-based, it would dedicated to the music entirely; the cover will hopefully achieve putting across this point. Thus, little effort, still resulting in a magical style.
The other person the style will be partially based on is the Punk legend, Sid Vicious. Like Kurt Cobain, he did not care what he looked like, and most people believed him to look a complete mess as well as act like one. I, however, loved Sex Pistols style and admire the carelessness which somehow resulted in a much adored style which inspired Punk-lovers everywhere in the 70's.
A slight problem would be that Grunge and Punk are really quite different styles; if it's an impossibility to successfully achieve both of these styles mixed together, then the cover model will most likely be dressed more Grunge than Punk.

ReplyDeleteYour going to struggle justify a need for a Grunge style magazine as it's gone out of fashion somewhat. Try and stick to rock (though you model/band can have a Grunge fashion edge) as from your posts on your main blog and your background on here that is you preferred musical genre.
I understand that you're trying to be all about the music and not the fashion but you'll need to do some posts on the style of clothes your band/individual is going to wear. You'll also need to invent a band/artist for your magazine. Try looking into existing bands in order to do this. Now my knowledge of music in a similar vein to 30 seconds to Mars is limited at best but look into 65 days of static (not the track weak 4 thats essentially Pendulum) as they are British, as are Ikara Colt. Rival Schools have just reformed, and if you watch the used for glue video they have a grunge look.
Yeah, I know... I just love the Grunge style.. But yeah okay.
ReplyDeleteMy music taste is too random, it's hard when I like stuff from Mars to CKY to The Beatles to John Mayer. Sad face.
But yeah, I guess it's best to stick to rock...
I'll make a post of bands and choose the best one.
Merci beaucoup.
