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.

Popping by Damir's

Post date Thu 5 May 2011 5:18 PM

I arrived in Paris two days after Damir showed his women fall collection, what a pity you might think, but instead I got to experience something even better!

My PARIS trip was a hectic one, squeezing in fashion shows between shopping for miss R, showroom appointments and a session with a possible new client I've been waiting for to happen about three months (more on that later!). I popped by the DAMIR DOMA showroom on the Sunday (!) and was welcomed by the grey eyed designer himself surrounded by his white/black/reddish brown/mustard-yellow shaded fall collection. Spot on colorscale! We took seat in front of the big LCD screen where the new fashion show was looped and Damir sat down next to me, filled me in with details about the styles + a couple of "I can see you in this"! And I soo agree, cause Damir designs for a woman like me (I just stopped myself from writing "modern woman" but wohaaa those fashion bunkum you have to go somewhere else for...!). You maybe see Decida Style as synonymous with accessory and more -rather than less- is more (-that is; compered to Swedes) but still beneath it all there is a silouette I care for. And despite Damir's ageless elegance (did I just complain over bunkum...) at first sight, there are the hints from the street, do you see the tall tee, the do-rags, the biker shorts, the creepers?! There are similarities between Damir and Alexander Wang too, even if the approach is a bit different. Hands down, I need to cop some of this collection when it's out, and you know what -I wont be the only one wearing it, but more on that in the future!

BTW: The jacket Robyn got on here is Damir Doma! (Not my idea with all that photoshopping though)
