I really like this idea of the whole dress being made out of money, its a beautiful image and really elegant. Its a really nice take on the original queen being on the note, maybe our model could wear something like this, with a big exaggerated crown on.
Sex Pistols
The Sex Pistols were the punk rock band that came together in 1975, under the management of Malcolm Mclaren, the Sex Pistols were responsible for the initiation of the Punk Movement. Even though the band were only together for 2 and half years with only 4 hit singles, the Sex Pistols are said to be one of the most influential bands of all time. The band were very controversial, and their last hit song 'God Save the Queen', was the most controversial, trying to convince the British Public not to conform to what was right and 'normal', the Sex Pistols had t-shirts made defacing the original image of the queen. I really like their courage to try and break the mould, whether their intentions were right or wrong, is a personal opinion but they are still talked about today. I think we could get a lot of inspiration from the t-shirts and the Sex Pistols intentions trying not to conform. We can use the original queen image and use inspiration from this, and put a spin on it and bring it up to speed of the modern world.
Vivienne Westwood
Whilst the Sex Pistols began to become a big hit, Vivienne Westwood was inspired by this Punk Movement and created collections based on this era, this movement became a big part of Vivienne Westwood's fashion career. Vivienne Westwood was inspired by Scottish culture and used elements of this in her collections, using tartans, leather, PVC, spikes, this era really made Vivienne Westwood and Malcolm Mclaren, and they are still talked about today.
Marie Antoinette
In 2006 the film starring Kirsten Dunst 'Marie Antoinette' became a hit movie. Based on Marie Antoinette, iconic French queen and Austria's Archduchess, the film follows her marriage at 15 to Louis XVI and her reign at 19. The film is targeted for a younger audience as the retelling of the Queen is fun and eccentric, this film is definitely an influence for our photo shoot. Marie Antoinette is liked by the French public at the start of her reign, but towards the end they began to think she was promiscuous, and wanting attention off the French public, her personality could inspire our photo shoot.

YouTube Clip of 'I Want Candy' Scene
I saw this clip and it really inspired me and i think will really inspire our photo shoot, its the rebellious streak Marie Antoinette has, fun, young and having all she wants because she can, i think this clip could really influence our photo shoot as its definitely the direction we all want to go in.
