Costuming- David Manning

This was on outfit we put together that represented the indie genre. The young man has messy, over grown hair. He is wearing a dark grey jacket and black skinny jeans. He is also wearing grey show boots. All clothing colours are dull. This look was influenced by the image of the kooks (click here) earlier in blog. Their woodland setting also inspired our choice of location.

This outfit was inspired by our own intepritation of the genre as well as other bands. Although indie men are usually dressed in duller colours we needed a more obvious outfit to make the band member noticeable from the brick work. We still chose quirky clothing that reflected our genre appropriately.

This outfit attempted to incorporate 'youth' into the music video. We used a slightly brighter coloured shirt but dulled it down with fashionable brown skinny jeans. We think this matches the style of The Foals, who originally sang the song Cassius. We chose a black guitar and strap and black base to try and 'dull down' the outfit. We think this worked successfully.
