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 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.

Paris Fashion Week - Menswear

Post date Sat 23 Jan 2010 12:53 AM

 

the MENSWEAR worth checking out in Paris so far:

Juun J
And the winner is: JUUN J - He stays in the lead as one of my favorite menswear designers! I demand a womens line NOW, but why care I would rock this menswear stuff any day, especially when these model guys are soooo thin. More at Fashionisto


Balenciaga Padding becomes interesting part late 70s part robotics

John Galliano
He did a Shetlock Holmes, some JPG suits (including corset!), and then a couple matador outfits that felt really Galliano and still possible for a nu-school-ghetto-dandy 2010, I would have wished this as the main theme for the whole collection. Then he got on the acid. See it here

Jean Paul Gaultier

JPG is always jpg and there is great creativity, concept and craftmanship but what the house can need is a creative direction to turn on the compass in the precense, fetching that Zeitgeist, there has beens some ups and unneccesary downs lately. And BTW did you see Chris Brown next to the bruised Jean Paul - from "wife" beating to gaybashing?!! More at Fashionisto

Kris Van Assche
A perfect cut on some wider pants, always some nice boots/kicks, but other than that a little bit to reclusive for me who usually fancy his work. Fashionisto


CDGCDG


Comme Des Garcon:
Interesting silouette with suits that had shorts over the pants and bright green shoes. See more at Fashionisto

Junya Watanbe
Rudeboys with slim silouettes but nothing exactly new. Fashionisto

Rick Owens
The dark knight developed a great shoulder section for any lord of darkness out there, but the massive collars I could have done without. See more over at the Fashinisto blog

Yves Saint Laurent
More dull colors, black togheter with dark brown, here lovely draped pants, notice the lenght and a new version of the pilot jacket! Fashinisto

Givenchy
Clean cut and you know what ever Riccardo Tisci does he does it good, but not close to as amazing as last season, of course this is for  a F/W season but still.

BLAAK 
Top 5 in my book last season - for uniqness, but a bit disappointed  this season, - too random, yes even with big wooden crucifix. Fashionisto


Waler Van Bierendonck
Madman Walter keep it true to the Bierendonck world...! See more of it!
