GHD

This type of styling is a big favourite of mine in film, tv, advertisment, theatre and alternative dress. Mixing classical silhouettes, props, locations and storylines with extreme, possibly punk inspired, make-up, colouring and attitude. Similar to with Illamasqua, this combination seems to create a different persona and even the movements of 'The Ugly Sisters' are unusual.
The colouring particularly changes the mise en scene and while the location and sihouettes tell us this is a period piece, the bright blue hair and other distinctively odd colourings tell us that this is a little twisted and leaves us not knowing what to expect.

This is very similar to what I would like to achieve with my design, taking the Tudor period and twisting it into something unexpected.
