preparing for battle

plastic armour? leather straps and brass buckles.
just designed armour for joan of arc.
shes a strong woman with both masculine and feminine characteristics.
so. i looked at a Helmut Newton photograph...inspired it really...

see the genders are completely reversed... the woman has obtained a masculine air with the angular lines in her pose and the man has gained femininity from the curves in his silhouette.
From this I wanted to combine both angular straight lines with curved lines to get both vibes.

here is my toile for the armour, photoshoot of the final product in waiting, model was hungover and by the time I got a replacement it was pitch black and the night before the deadline.
