Costume choices

I have decided to have a costume which really fits the zeitgeist of the 80s in terms of fashion ideas. The following photos and explanations ideas:

The shirt shows a happy mood for the performer but my idea is to show that under all the colour and patterns, the performer is troubled and emotionally upset. - This will be featured throughout the video and give a nice feel to the video and the performer. This was a very stereotypical of this era and I believe that this may add a little element of comedy into the video.

This is the style of wig that gives the vibe of the era in which the song is set. Again this was a common style in the 1980s and I feel will make the performer memorable to my audience. I will have to purchase this but this should not be a difficult task. I may also have a typical 80s moustache included on the performer, however, this is yet undecided.

The final accessory that I will need will be a style of jeans such as these. I have a pair like this already. Again another style which was commonly seen as a fashion item. This I feel will fit the zeitgeist. The trousers give a message of a broken life, hence the rips and scraggy look and this will fit my performers style.
The styles I have chosen I hope will add an element of comedy but give an overall message to the audience that life is not always as good as you want it to be. I feel that this message may link to the zeitgeist of todays wold on how people have to survive.
