Posing Inspiration for my Editorial no.2

Givenchy like to use big groups of models for their editorials and go all out into making us believe something special is going on that we need to be a part of. So I decided to use more than one model for my first editorial shoot which proved to be (with a few hiccups) a big success. So this time around I still wanted to use more than one model, however incorporate Givenchy's casual wear that they've released alongside their latest menswear collection which consists of the religious printed jumpers, long oversized t-shirts etc that are being worn by both men and women.

I love how the religious theme is being played with in prints aswell and I can really see what Riccardo Tisci's idea was.

I also looked into locations and PROPS used for Givenchy's editorials and came across a few interesting images involving sports for the more ready to wear collections. I thought using props was a good idea as I've seen it reappearing time and time again.

The location plays a big part in the storyline behind the editorial with most of my inspired images being set in recreational sports facilities I thought this was really interesting as sports is a well loved activity and on the uprise in recent years with sports clothing becoming a current trend.

When looking for locations for this I wanted to find a sports based location but figured I would use a prop and find a textured background that would add to the grittiness of the picture that I wanted as my other editorial images were on a more 'heavenly vibe'. And as I am embodying this theme of religion throughout my shoots I thought this was only right to show the two sides of this collection.

This was a picture I found by Givenchy in interview magazine in 2013 and used as inspiration for my location, I loved how urban the background looks and achieved something similar in my final images.
