I am working on a series of clothing inspired by Death Metal, specifically music by Turisas, and by Film Noir.
I did some research on both subjects, and found similarities and differences. Both are similar in: glamour (use of lights in Noir, and over-the-top sentiments of Metal), solitary, and dark tone. The main difference between the two has to do with expressing feelings. While Noir attempts to repress stress, or succumb to corruption, Metal protests stress/corruption. And, (to me) Turisas is about rising up to overcoming challenges.
So, I am taking these themes, mostly the resilience/toughness of Metal and blending it with the elegance of Noir.
The picture above is the first piece in this series. It's more Noir than Metal. I have been working on pieces that are more Metal.
