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, nationality, gender, sexuality 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. It means you have the feet in different worlds, can move between them but feel rather at home in that space in between. You've stepped out of your comfort zone and have become one of the new identities where ol' categories are mashed up and rootlessness and non-given identity just means major possibilities.

HIStory- Miguel Adrover

The HINT Blog is refering to the new number of the INDUSTRIE Magazine who tells us what happened "When Miguel Adrover Bit the Hand that Fed Him, Anna Wintour Bit Back". The stylish Mr ADROVER, born in Spain at the time based in NYC, was one of the most spoked about new designers a couple of years ago. Some might remember the ecobrand HESSNATUR/Adrover "Hidden in Nature" exhibition from NYC Fashion Week 2008. Miguel Adrovers trademark is a holistic view on fashion and it's enviroment, where "etno"-influences never are gimmicks or stereotypical escapism from a colonial type of view, no they rather add notable perspectives on norms and ideas of trends and beauty of today. And I'm pretty sure he's a 2FACED1, fucking up references like we're supposed to! Let's do a backflash into his great works in his own name!

FW2001 Meet The East

 

SS2003 "Citizens Of The World"

SS2002 Utopia

SS2004 "The Surreal World"

SS2005 "The Americans"

I wouldn't guess he'd do it, but it would be amazing if he returned and started to design under his own name again!
