Costume Ideas

The female artist who will appear on BEATZ will wear simple clothing. This will relate back to the Hip Hop/ RnB genre, as simplicity is key. The style can then relate back to the music, as many artists within this genre choose to keep their music simple, not many instruments, only a certain amount of features on one song, and the messages behind each track. Effortless is how the artist will look, although she will be from a predominantly masculine genre, the reader will be able to see her femininity. Classic colours such as black and white are featured tremendously within music magazines who promote the same genres. These colours make a statement, although they are extremely basic, an impact is made. Black and white are colours which are worn on an everyday basis, they will never go out of fashion, much like the Hip Hop/ RnB genre. The artist will be standing her ground with these colours whilst making an imprint on today's music and making sure that she will never to, go out of fashion.

The black and white combination which Alicia Keys is wearing is effortlessly classy, as well as sexy. The unbuttoned shirt shows she is comfortable in her body whilst portraying confidence. The simplicity is what makes this outfit. From this picture alone she is represented as a women who takes care of herself, but not afraid to be unique.

The clothing which the artist will be wearing will co ordinate colour wise. For example, black and red, or blue and white. There will be nothing out of the ordinary like yellow and purple. This will not represent the genre, and confuse readers as it is not something that artists from the RnB or Hip Hop world do.

The featured artist will be wearing the iconic ‘white tee’. However many males wear this item of clothing more than the females, so for a female to be wearing it is a statement within itself. It shows that she is ready to take charge and is not worried about the males, she can stand up for herself. To make the outfit more feminine black shorts will be worn. Her legs will then be exposed showing her femininity. More importantly the footwear will be trainers, which once again will bring back the iconic male look. This implies that the female artist is not afraid to be compared to men, she knows that she is unique and is comfortable being different.

A snapback will also be used as a prop, once again this is a common male hat. Which women rarely wear, but the female artist featured is willing to set a new standard. She will show originality by using well known men wear and putting her touch on it.
