MALE MODELS

Location

Picture taken in England, city/urban/city scene to contrast with the clothes

but at the same time exemplify how the clothes can be worn in an urban

environment.

Tone of communication

Our tone on first glance comes across confronting and bold,

using the arab style clothes in a western country setting to

shock viewers.

But underneath this intial tone we have encoding an irony – take away all the

media and politics and wars, these are just garments and we want people to see this

and instead of thinking of the stigma associated with arab clothing

Thank you
