Project evaluation
At the beginning of this beauty
and the brand project I was really excited about creating looks inspired by
Anna Sui. I had never heard of Anna Sui before but after looking into some of
her work I felt that Anna Sui would be the most appropriate brand for me to
choose as I felt I could work quite freely with the brand.
I developed my ideas by researching the
history of Anna Sui as a designer and then as a brand. I think that doing a lot
of research about Sui as a designer and then as a brand really helped me
develop my ideas throughout this unit. I have really enjoyed taking ideas from
Anna Sui’s original inspiration for her catwalk shows and products and then
turning them into a hair and makeup look.
At the beginning of the unit I
wanted to collect as much information as I could about Anna Sui. I began by
researching the five P’s which were on the brief. These included product,
packaging, presentation, promotion and price point. I think that I got off to a
good start by getting a lot of my research done early on during the semester
when we were first given the brief. This allowed me more time to think about
design ideas and to be able to develop my ideas.
Throughout this unit I have
looked at inspiration from Pat McGrath (makeup artist) and Garren (hair
stylist) to gain knowledge of how they have worked on creating hair and makeup
looks for Sui’s catwalk shows. I noticed that for many of Sui’s shows Pat
McGrath and Garren have been the main makeup and hair artist for her shows. I
found YouTube videos of artist’s work and behind the scenes clips of how to
create hair and makeup styles that they have created for Sui’s shows. I loved
finding information about where Sui got her passion and inspiration from for
her clothing as well as her makeup products. I really enjoyed looking into what
inspired Sui for all the aspects of the brand.
I feel as if my skills have
developed throughout this unit because I feel a lot more confident while
creating looks that will be taken within the studio. This unit has helped me
build my confidence because I now feel confident with asking people to collaborate
with to get better result with the pictures once the final looks have been
completed.
If I was able to do this project
again I would create more extravagant hairstyles as I think this would also
suit Anna Sui as a brand. I think that I have understood Anna Sui as a brand
very well as all my final images have knowledge and reason behind the ideas. Over
all I have really enjoyed this project.
