Boy Meets Girl Video

 Boy Meets Girl is my intersected androgynous fashion film. The reason I named the video "Boy Meets Girl" is because society expect men to always portray this dominant and masculine image, to hide femininity as it is seen as an act of weakness. However the title "Boy Meets Girl" is introducing men to femininity, introducing them to that being both masculine and feminime is possible and introducing them to aboloshing social expectations and embracing who you are.

Within this video it is seen the model is confidently moving around, the reason I got them to do this is so it portrays confidence, body language speaks volumes about how comfortable you are within yourself, confidence should be originate from being happy within who you are, not within what society tells you . Along on the subject of confidence, the model is wearing clothes purposely designed for women. However, the reason I got him to wear them s is so it creates a contrast. A contrast of what's wrong and what's right; because there is no such thing. There is no wrong or right, there is you and how you want to live. No one should dictate who you are.

Furthermore, the video is colour graded to pink to emphasise the contrast of masculinity within femininity. It is a metaphor that it is possible to embody both, it is possible to feel empowered embracing both and it is possible to express your emotions.

I have always been passionate about people embracing who they are, whilst being oblivious as to what other people thought of them. There is a certain beauty to not living up to society's expectations; you create your own expectations - this is the ideology I wanted to capture in my "Boy Meets Girl". Whilst on the subject of how creating your own expectations in life is beautiful, fashion holds the authority and power to represent this. 

The world if full of restrictions, don't let fashion restrict you too.

I feel as if society craves labels. Gay, transgender, female, male, bicurious etc, however, what ever happened to just being yourself? Labels do not define you. You are you. Just because you identify yourself as a male, and you like to wear women's clothes does not define you as a "transvestite", it defines you as you. Once you breakthrough social barriers, you become you and there is nothing more admirable than that. Personally, I like to express myself through fashion, in a world where your voice is hardly heard, fashion is one of the many ways to show a statement of who you are.

Kieran, my model for my project, was the perfect choice for a representative. Kieran has always struggled with identity, afraid to be who he is because of social barriers. However, he has always found identity within fashion; fashion helped him to create who he is.
