1930s Meets the Blitz Kids
1930s Hair
The image below is an old 1930s advertisement for hair. As you can see from both the images below the men had a very distinct paring and often had finger waves in the hair. The hair was always very neat and gelled into place. Even though this is a popular hair style for the 1930s I found it is quit dull. The character Emcee is a eccentric character and having such neat and tidy hair is a juxtaposition to his character. I like the idea of having a distinct parting as its very prominent.

He was part of the band called Visage and was a big part of the clubbing scene in the 1980s. In the styles below I like the first image with the hair flicking across the face it adds a bit of eccentricity to the hair. I also like adding colour to make the hair more prominent. The 1980s style was all about who could be more extreme than the other. It was always about being shocking to the public like a constant cat walk always going on. Men dressing in the most outrageous outfits and most outrageous make up. This project has got me really excited about all the possibilities of different hair and make up I can do. I really like the idea of having a prominent parting with curls coming onto the face. Instead of seeing hair and make up separate I hope to connect the two together with matching colours and bringing it down onto the face. Using colour in the hair is a great way to make it stand out more and my model has jet black hair so I was thinking of using the colour blue. |
