Elle US

In this copy of Elle I discovered a shoot they did which was inspired by the film 'Empire Records'
The shoot is showing how 90's grunge is back in fashion. The models are predominantly actors.
All the poses and location look realistic which is much like the photography during the 90s such as the work of Corinne Day. The images look as if they are take by a friend as everyone looks so relaxed and caught doing something very natural. The images don't look overly posed like most other fashion spreads do.
There is a combination of Black and White images and colour. The images all have grainy qualities to them suggesting film- this would have been used in the 90s maybe used to give a more authentic quality

The styling for this shoot was highly influential as it shows bright bold colours yet also darker colours. It used block colours and a lot of layering of jackets over top it also shows unconvientional cuts of clothing. Jeans are ripped, trouses are short, tops show off stomachs. There is also the use of long socks and boots, also trousers with boots however there is a gap showing flesh- uses flesh as another layer?
