Drawing attention to females' issues

My first Design Research and Ideas

Both central characters from "Girl with the dragon tattoo" and "the 5th element" are thin framed yet strong characters.

Creative Immigrant Song (Tittle Sequence)
Trent Reznor, Atticus Ross and Karen O re-imagine Led Zeppelin's classic rock tune for David Fincher's "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo":




Lisbeth (Noomi Rapace) is pale skinned with raven colour hair, very short cropped fringe, bleached eyebrows, lots of piercings and tattoos. The look in her eyes is both gloomy and vulnerable, moreover, the nudity scenes and shots seems to undermine her toughness.

Victims - female vs male

Leeloo (Milla Jovovich) "...everything you create, you use to destroy"

"Me fifth element - supreme being. Me protect you."

I love Leeloo, she is perfect and sweet warrior. An outfit of gold pants, a white cropped top and orange braces was designed by John Paul Gaultier. She is more dangerous warrior than she was at the begining wearing just white "bandages".



Similarly, for my first look of Bloody Mary interpretation I would like to create a character, mysterious female, with the variety of gifts and, in essence, someone you would not want to mess up with

My First Look Story Board:


IRON LADY idea - Georgia May Jagger by Photographer Terry Richardson for US Harper's Bazaar (Sept 2011):
She play here former prime minister Margaret Thatcher:
Love this knight's body armor - Iron Maiden- idea:


My Second Design Research and Ideas:


Stephen Meisel:



If to compare Greek Goddess Aphrodite of love and beauty (Venus - Roman equivalent) to Mary they share similar traits and physical beauty. 
Mary is a strong female, she has to always prove her worth.. She doesn't let the past accident (before her horrific death) from fulfilling her duty of being drop dead but gorgeous. Her love is self love (narcissistic), she cannot see the world around her. 
Nevertheless, Mary is admirable; she is perfect representation of all of us from the inside, and not the way we seem to the rest of the world









Beautiful Beyonce (by one of my favorite photographer Alexi Lubomirski for UK Harper Bazaar Sept'11), as always amazing. Her almond shape eyes are phenomenal, make-up is stunning, it is showing off her deeply defined black eyeliner. Strong eye brows and nude shade lips looks great on her skin tone.
Her look is beautiful and powerful and seductive, just what I need for my inspiration (2nd look femme fatale):
