My initial thoughts and object analysis presentation

Redheads- shedding the ridicule
Throughout history, redheads have been feared and revered, loathed and adored, degraded and exalted. No other single human trait has provoked such a dichotomy of emotions in such a large number of fellow humans
Concepts/ideas?
• Main image: Tilda Swinton in Viktor and Rolf catwalk, Karen Elson in ysl opium ad.
• Generations of ridicule for redheads, never heroes, change now occurring
• Analyse recent and current fashion, particular colour palettes, trends and models themselves and purposefully seeking redheads, beliefs about
Why?
• New and arising trend into fashion, will affect future history , is changing the norm
• Help me understand the influence of fashion and trendsetting
• Help to consider future changes- e.g. plus size modelling, how fashion influences everyone and changes lives
Concepts/ideas:
• Is this a permanent change? Is there more to come?
• What’s for the future?- genetically dying recessive gene
• Is the celebrity influence the biggest?
• Analyse and discuss images of past famous redheads and century old theories- witchcraft
• Is the minority more interesting?
