Following on from my cage designs, I looked at headpiece designs which again will require some kind of cage for construction. As already mentioned the project is very much based around nature, and therefore I am looking at using these natural materials such as flowers to create a collection. The left hand side of the designs were all created as 'headbands' whereas the right are again cages, this time made solely of flowers and not hair which is something I had needed to distinguish prior to this process. The top and bottom left are very simplistic designs and I am worried these look too much like a standard fashion accessory seen in many shops and festivals. The middle left design was based around a crown and this links back to the royal theme of the storyline. This is made entirely of flowers and although it could work incredibly well, it could also fail if the shape is lost.
The right hand designs are very similar when looking back, however at the time looking at my mood boards and narrative they were appropriate. The top right design is meant more as a 'cap' almost such as a swimming hat concealing the hair and being covered in blooming flowers, however this is lost in the excessive height of the design and lack of definitive shape. The bottom right design enhances on the features from the top design but make it more appropriate to the kind of eye-catching yet simplistic naturalistic style I am looking for. The middle design is slightly too large and 'bold' for the dainty fairy based project, therefore I will be developing the bottom right design into a more detailed design now.
*** As my photographer is looking for 8 different looks, I will also be creating a hairband from the bottom left design here, as she would like this incorporated into a simple 4th piece which will work with her own hair, and also a wig, so it will have two purposes - update on 5th November 2014 ***
