Costume lists

We have decided that no specific items of clothing need to be worn in the trailer. We will simply wear old clothes that do not look fasionable. This is to avoid glamourising drug use by implying that people who use drugs are less likely to be able to afford good clothes and have a fancy lifestyle. It will be a subtle representation of drug addicts by using clothes that are acceptable and not outrageous, however gritty and gives a negative outlook on the whole concept. We have no set costume, however the theme remains.


I later had an idea to use tattoo sleeves to try and portray a similar idea to what I have been shown in the media. Sometimes we see drug addicts (who are generally lower class, and sometimes more masculine) with tattoos to prove themselves as 'hard men'. This may not always refer to physical appearance but mental attitudes towards themselves.
