We've been looking into Detectives to inspire our Characters, and decided on the more 'classical' style, specifically the wearing of a Trenchcoat. It's quite an iconic look that's still used today (for example in BBC's Sherlock), so would clearly indicated the role of the character. This has led us to researching older fashion styles and films etc (roughly around the 1950's). As the 'main' character is a woman we're looking into the fashion of women of that time too, specifically hair, makeup etc.
Below are some initial sketches and notes of mine, influenced and referenced from the book 'A Pictorial History of Crime Films - Ian Cameron'. I've tried to highlight the key aspects which enhance the 1950's style, for example on women - the dark eyes/done hair/ and lips, as well as look at the overall use of light and heavy shadows. Something quite noticeable is the smokey effect these photo's and films have - which is perhaps something we can incorporate.
