Minimal portrayal

These are images which I found. All of them features superheroes in a minimalist illustrations of black and white. The black silhouettes are who they were before and the white figure are who they are now, as a superhero.












I think that all these images are strong in stating the differences of their lives then and now. In my past blog, I've touched on the trend I might be forecasting, being the line separating a superhero and a villain. They may be humans and in a point of time, they may have had an incident which is the turning point of their life, resulting them to pursue either a dark or brighter path.

I think that these images would be good as prints or silhouettes. For prints, The garment could be a minimal white or black but with contrasting prints of forms that are these superheroes/villains.... It may portray that the wearer itself has the choice of choosing one of these paths....the good or the bad. Everyone of us has these as a part of us...but we are at times afraid to show it...afraid that we may be judged...so, I think that having these as prints are like expressions as to show what makes us human...it is a natural and raw idea that people are afraid of accepting.

Other than prints, they could also be the silhouette of garments. As seen in the images, the whites are constantly shown as huge and hulking figures, showing that the superheroes have chosen the light of the situations....with that said, I think these forms of garments can follow the silhouettes as seen...to show that they've accepted the lighter path... that they too can be superheroes.
What they wear outside, is who they are inside.
