about 2faced1.com

2FACED1.com shows one persons two different faces in photos;

Persona 1:
WHAT YOU WANT TO BE
CONSIDERED AS

Persona 2:
WHAT YOU FEAR TO BE
CONSIDERED AS

This leads to a discussion about stereotypes and inner fears of getting misunderstood by the surroundings. Thoughts that every thinking modern day person does reflect upon. We're asking every day people from an innercity context where old categories as ethnicity, nationality, gender, sexuality and class are reassessed, why they choose to look like they do. We’re diggin' deep, peeling off garments, codes and attributes. We’re searching for transnational identities - is the conclusion that we choose whoever we want to be today?!

 

A 2FACED1 STATE OF MIND

A 2FACED1 is highly aware of existing stereotypes related to your own ethnicity, color, nationality, gender, sexual orientation and class. You’re trying to avoid them but sometimes also play with them to make people think twice about who you are. Two faced doesn’t mean anything negative here, it explains the double folded view you have on identity if you’re not the existing norm. Self awareness is a gift, because it also helps you to understand other peoples situations better. To be a 2FACED1 is to have the feet in different worlds, be able to move between them but feel rather at home in that space in between. You've stepped out of your comfort zone and has become one of the new identities where ol' categories are mashed up and rootlessness and non-given identity just means major possibilities.

Re-defining Menswear

I’m not going to diss the preppy style, since I've actually been very inspired of it and it has made a great impact on my personal style, I actually would like to pay homage to progressive preppiness. But I believe that (non-proggresive) preppiness has kind of made style and especially menswear get stuck in a “safety bubble”, which makes people always go for the more safe option, and keep reproducing the stupid stereotype of how a man should be, even though maybe that wasn’t their initial idea; it can even have been the opposite. And I’m sorry, but a pink bowtie won’t cut it! It’s easier choosing your suit than a skirt since you can’t be accused of being feminine or “less of a man”. I just wish more guys would dare to challenge the dusty “masculine” stereotype, redefine not only what menswear is but what a man can be instead of what he shouldn’t be. 

PS. I’ve decided to during one week of summer dress how I want to without caring about what people think #Oddfuture style! I’m always so conscious, so i figured I should try the IDGAF attitude! I’ll let you know when this social experiment a.k.a. pushing the limits of the macho norm begins!
