E.O.C Week 9: My Movie Style

Riot on Sunset Strip

    My personal style preference is from the decade I should have been born in. The Revolutionary decade of the 1960's. I have always admired that decade and therefore I like to hunt for those real 1960's authentic clothes. The styles that i fantasize about include; 1960's psychedelic garage , surreal mod, native bohemian, boho british style among others. A movie that features some great 1960s clothing is the movie Riot On Sunset Strip. The actresses costumes are to die for. The textiles on the dresses and the way they are shaped highly appeals to me. Just the simplicity of the shape but the creativity behind it, is what makes me love the 1960s decade. They used over the top fabrics such as satin, fringe and lots and lots of paisley everywhere. From their dresses to their jewelry the 1960s decade was full of awesome creative clothing that stood out from the norm. They made several statements and the way the psychedelic fashion portrayed psychedelic music was genius. The Rolling Stones were covered in paisley they glamorized rock n roll with these lavishing jackets but simple trousers. In the movie Riot on Sunset Strip i am completely in love with the mini dresses and high boots. The strange and different textiles on the dresses and pretty much all of the print on 1960s clothing were unique. That's one thing about the 1960's fad they were crazy for textiles. As you can see in the images above i have also included some dresses created by Thea Porter who is one of my favorite fashion designers ever. That women is responsible for the revolutionary movement of the bohemian/ boho chic.

Write and design a project that reflects the ideas of developing your own personal brand. Use the previous questions as an outline

My personal brand name will be named Motor Femme. It's going to be a line that carries musical inspired clothing only! The inspiration for all of the clothing within my business is a large variety of music. My business cards will have my title Motor Femme with bloody letters on the Femme part and the Motor for Motorhead (my ultimate favorite band). The name is a combination of strong loud females with a die hard passion for loud music. The theme song for my brand will most likely be the Chocolate Watchband's song "Im not like everybody else". It's a perfect song for the isolated music lover that doesn't conform to society and always remains true to their self identity. This song is perfect for my brand. My target audience will be females from the ages of 14 to 20 something year olds. I will bring my brand exposure by exposing it in big music events, and even small local shows. I will take my brand everywhere, through the means of social media like facebook, the brands personal web site, and a brick and mortar location. I will build a strong relationship with the music community of Los Angeles, San Francisco, New York, Portland, Texas, etc i want to make my brand travel and get exposed to as many events as possible including the art and music community. MotorFemme will pretty much anihilate Hot Topic.
