In order to get a high fashion interpretation of Oranges are not the only fruit, I have taken a more stylish and contemporary take on her bright pink coat.
This first one I found was Betty Barclay in TK Maxx. It's a coral pink quilted coat with a collar and pockets. My idea was to add a black belt around the waist line to make it more of a cut off and edgy shape.
The second jacket I found was a darker and slightly more fuchsia pink. This is quilted as well but is more cropped.
The third jacket I found was by Calvin Klein and was a bright pink, waterproof jacket with a zip. This one is the closest connected to the one mentioned in the book, however for a high end fashion shoot this one would be more difficult to make look like a editorial styled outfit.
Moving on from the pink coat, I found this floaty shirt by Diesel in a bright orange colour. I was instantly attracted to it due to it's eye catching colour, shape and material which will look perfect for one of my looks.
Extra purchases I made today were a couple of pairs of socks. The first, a brown/mustard coloured pair of knee high socks which can be teamed with one of my outfits to give her a more innocent and child-like appearance.
The second pair are a smaller ankle sock in bright orange to match the orange colour theme within the book and my photo shoot. The white frills around the top also give her a innocent and feminine look which will look quirky and contradictory to her androgynous hair and makeup.
Another Outfit I purchased was a cream/white dress which represents innocence, the floaty and light material represents freedom at the end of the book where she finds herself.
Beautiful cream embroidery detail around the collar and waist
I bought the cross necklace that hangs low to the waist
Finally there is a pair of mustard brown coloured tights from Topshop
Drawing a couple of outfits
The first outfit I drew up was of my black and white dress, a floaty bottomed skirt matched with the cross belt from Urban Outfitters to cinch in the waist. This could be worn with the orange ankle socks and a pair of patient brogue shoes and the cross necklace.
The seconf outfit I drew was of a brown woollen cardigan with a grey school style skirt, mustard knee high socks, cross belt and a white shirt buttoned to the top. This outfit shows her innocent and child-like personality.
The third outfit was of the orange shirt worn with a grey t-shirt material pleated skirt, the cross belt and the knee high socks. The orange of the shirt and the hair will compliment each other looking striking and stunning.
The final drawing is one of the coat with a belt around the waist, again paired with the knee high socks.
