Hello Everyone. I hope your weekend is going awesome. It's still sunny and beautiful here in Northern California. I have to admit I don't want fall to come quite yet. I am still enjoying my toes being out! So this post is from a phototshoot I had last weekend. In my styling class we were given the assignment to create a comic book. We were given a comic book character and we had to style that character's hidden identity as well as his/her superhero/villain. Let me just say this was alot of fun. The main objective of this assignment was to create wearable fashion without the styling looking like a costume. Let me give you the story line for those of you who arent familiar with the Green Arrow. Oliver "Ollie" Queen was born into wealth. He was a handsome ladies man who lived a comfortable life. He had a girlfriend who was ready for him to settle down and commit. In fear of committment Oliver runs off and takes his girlfriend's sister on a trip aboard his families yacht. The yacht is destroyed in a ship wreck and the only survivors are Oliver and his father. While trying to survive this horrible shipwreck Oliver's father tells him some devastating news. He tells his son that their wealth has been given to them on the account of others struggling. After revealing his secret Oliver's father asks his son for one request, that once he is rescued that he must go back and take revenge on all those who have brought their city down with crime. Oliver's father doesn't survive the wreckage but Oliver manages to wash up along an island. On this island their are corrupt people who want to destroy innocent people on the island. Oliver learns his survival skills while on this island. One of his master skills is in archery. He manages to get off the island and returns home. He returns home to see the city infested with crime and poverty. His mother insists on him taking a part in the family's business but Oliver declines. His only mission now, armed with his bow and arrow is to honor's his father's last wishes... and so a hero is here "Green Arrow" My model was my Ken Smith and my photographer was my Razon Tramble. We shot the Oliver Queen shots at a fabulous restaurant in Berkeley called The Five Restaurant. The Green Arrow shots were in an industrial area I found near my house. I had a great time creating the looks for the Green Arrow and my classmate Andrea created the looks for Oliver Queen. Thanks for checking out my post. Enjoy your weekend!
