I didn’t even know that black swans existed before, and I was fascinated to discover this species of swan. The black swan, with its dark mood and colour, really appealed to me, so I decided to make it the focus of my project. Final work Black Swan _ Reflection Reflecting the dark grace of the Black Swan, this look captures mirrored beauty through sleek waves and feather-like details, suggesting inner conflict and poise. Black Swan _ Characteristic Hair and makeup reflecting the Black Swan’s pre-evolution stage, with subtle detailing and soft contrasts symbolising vulnerability, purity, and latent power. Black Swan _ Ballet Hair and makeup inspired by the Black Swan ballet - sharp contrasts, structured lines, and dramatic textures evoke the elegance, intensity, and inner duality of the performance. Black Swan _ Reflection Inspired by the shifting reflection of a black swan on rippling water - this look pairs crisp, minimalist beauty with a sense of motion and emotional stillness. Research and process Research and process As the process, practice, and testing are crucial to achieving the desired outcome, thorough preparation in advance is necessary to ensure the results meet expectations. Research Research focused on understanding fashion and sourcing inspiration from the Black Swan as a symbol and natural creature within the context of the fashion industry.
