As part of my quest to finding my own visual style, we embarked on a mission to find our most inspiring fashion designer. Based upon his or her legacy, we were to create our own imagery.
My muse was found very quickly: Walter van Beirendonck would be my source of inspiration for the upcoming weeks.
Our next assignment was to create a sequence of three to five images that, together, told an interesting story. This all had to be base upon the chosen designer and his or her work.
I was inspired by the make-able beauty and the male perfection, just as Walter is. I found three characteristic trademarks that define his work: his work is always for men, he is obsessed with beauty and he always goes just over the top. Here's what I came up with as a sequence and how I came to this.

A quick look through the process:
Recurring theme in Walters work was the ungoing battle between Good vs. Evil.
So I decided to look for visual inspiration, based upon search criteria: Beauty, Male, Plastic Surgery, (Everlasting) Youth and Old vs. New
During the final check we created the first set of sequence photo's. I had many to choose from, but now needed to perfect them. One of Walters best friends and co-workers tells that they often use the color red as a base color. Now I knew what to do...
