Starting obliviously with Queen Elizabeth, from all my research this image is my favorite of her the orange colours and her ginger flowing hair reflect everything about the Elizabethans, and there royal colors. But as i wanted something a little bit more outside the box other than just using one form of inspiration and twisting it slightly.
i went into researching harajuku girls in japan, as they use alot of decoration in there hair much like Queen Elizabeth used to except instead if pearls, i wanted to use flowers as a sign of innocence, which relates to the motley crew lyrics i have found saying about the flowers and razors in her hair show innocence, Elizabeth may have been innocent but she had a power as sharp as razor blades. So by using buns as the main feature on top of the head surrounded by flowers, and also spraying the hair gold, i am incorporating the harajuku influences with the buns on top of the head, with loads of decoration, but the flowers show Elizabeth's innocence and the gold shows royalty. The buns on top also resemble my New Elizabethan influences which was George Lucas, the writer of start wars, the hair shows aspects of princess Lai's hair in the films.
Then the pin curls around the face are a Elizabethan Tradition.
Onto my make-up which was inspired by the images on my mood board as well, the white skin, and white eye lashes are Elizabethan traditions, but with blue eyebrows which i was inspired by for the harajuku girls, who have very bright/eccentric make-up, with bright orange contouring and ombre pink lips.
