I continued my research looking at symbolism and contemporary portraits of people that represent wealth, luxury and high profile status in society today. The portrait I chose was from the April 2014 Vogue issue with a spread featuring 'KimYe', AKA Kim Kardashian, Kanye West and their baby North. In this photo the 'perfect family' are pictured on the most luxury style private jet you could imagine with Kim wearing a wedding style satin dress from the Lanvin Blanche collection by Alber Elbaz and Kayne in a Louis Vuitton coat, both very expensive designer brands and a dress that retailed at $6960! Kanye and Kim are known to be very materialistic and into fashion and not afraid to flaunt what they have and this photo I feel shows this perfectly. They all look very relaxed and content (Why wouldn't you be?!) and the space they are in also gives off the feeling of being calm as it is spotlessly clean and neutral, classy colours are present such a browns and creams. I think the aim of this photograph was to depict an image that is very regal, while showing their wealth, happiness and luxury lifestyle to the world. This photo was taken when baby North was just ten months old so wouldn't know what was going on during this shoot and she had just been born into a world of comforts and indulgence.
Below is my own portrait I had my friend Sammie take of me in her bedroom. In the picture I am holding my favourite Vivienne Westwood handbag which I am very proud of and surrounded by large fashion magazines such as Vogue, Elle and LOVE, make-up books and sitting on Sammies Cath Kidston duvet as I work at CK part-time. This is to show I am very into my fashion and fund my shopping addiction with my weekend job as a sales assistant working at Cath Kidston in West Quay. The fashion magazines are where I look for inspiration for make-up and hair design as it is the field I am most influenced by, I adore the looks and styles found in these kinds of magazines and at the moment make-up and hair is taking up the largest part of my life, so this image represents me pretty well for now.
