..inspired by McQ - SPRING 2010...

Merc clothing on Carnaby Street agreed to lend us some key pieces to create a skinhead look. They originally were the vital place for any mod in London, but some of the items they create were adopted by skinheads during the revival- such as the tight bomber jacket.

They also have a selection of well fitting shirts we could easily adopt into our idea.

The branding on the clothes isn't obvious enough to detract from the notion that this is a McQueen film, we are also asking Fletcher to bring some personal items of clothing and are using used doc martens to make the look more authentic and not too over styled (Styling in Meadow's films is natural).

We will of course credit Merc at the end of the film for being so generous!

FLETCHER HARRINGTON

After a last minute cancellation from our original actor (Dave) I found Fletcher through a friend (thankfully!).

Fletcher will be our actor, he is a model but has acting experience having been involved in a video for Vogue.tv
He has the skinhead look we wanted as well as the McQueen edge we decided to include to make the film more fashion orientated.
