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.
2FACED1 is a state of mind, 2FACED1.com is a display-window for this mindset and the network of 2FACED1 includes all of you progressive non-stereotypes with a double perspective on identity.

Latest info comes from Rolling Stone: "Beyoncé and Andre 3000 will partner up on a cover of Amy Winehouse's "Back to Black" for the soundtrack to Baz Luhrmann's remake of The Great Gatsby."
(Ps. I'm still speechless over how he was removed from the "Party" video, butit's said it could have been because of label problems)
“Some days I feel like I’ll do it, some days I don’t. Some days I feel like I don’t need to, some days I feel like I want to do it before I die. So, I don’t know where to fall. I am just hoping one day I get that inspiration,” he said at an event for Gillette’s eMO’gency Styler Tour, which supports men’s health and prostate cancer programs. The tour kicked off in New York, with stops scheduled in Chicago and Houston.
That's it from me today, but follow me on instagram, @decida. I will do some visual research and might post one or two fine things over there.
Cute add below though one keep thinking of what would happen if they would have done the same thing but with guys? I bet the pictures themselves would look better... What does that say about the beauty industry?
If you dwell in Stockholm you find me at Jung today
Especially not when it has (used to have...) so many prominent readers.

Oh yes I work too damn much. But had to re-think, cause that's not the full reason to why I don't manage to update.
I think I kind of lost my voice, not saying I don't have one, but the new one hasn't a full range yet. The schism: the private vs. the official. I'd like to be me, I'd like to be honest. But I like to spread some sort of positive energy*. So it's kind of hard because at the moment I don't really feel that positive energy myself.
The haterade could easily be flowing so to say.
It's been a tough year. On a political stage and a private.
But since I am one of that volatile two-faced-ones this might be a natural (hate this word though) development, when I though I had it figured out, the context changed - which means I have to do the same. Change always hurts a bit though.
I'ma try to stick with you through these transition times, I guess that's kind of honest.
See you soon,
D
Ps. I'm having an interesting meeting today, picture above is a clue (snatched from Interview Magazine)
*god knows this blog hasnt always been about good energy though....
The New York City premiere of Free Angela and All Political Prisoners was held on Wednesday night (April 3). Trailer above.
"Free Angela tells the dramatic story of how a young professor’s social justice activism implicates her in a botched kidnapping attempt that ends with a bloody shootout, four dead, and her name on the FBI’s 10 most wanted list.
In this historical vérité style documentary, marking the 40th anniversary of her acquittal on charges of murder, kidnapping, and conspiracy, Angela Davis recounts the politics and actions that branded her a terrorist and simultaneously spurred a worldwide movement for her freedom as a political prisoner. At its core, the story wrestles with the meaning of political freedom in a democracy negotiated between the people and its government. Strong, attractive, and engaging, Angela Davis is one such person who became a symbol at the center of this still relevant power struggle."
Killed this one last fall, now it also got a rap...a reason to listen to it again, even if the rap doesn't pricesly make the song better. But it's A$AP and I hope Jessie Ware gets more recognition in the States. She's worth it. Jassie Ware feat. A$AP Rocky "Wildest Moments" (maybe she should had Tyler on the track instead, thinking that his emo vibe on IFHU would've suited this dramatic production...)
Me, mr. D and Mie had a lovely dinner with this man last summer when he was visiting Sweden, now finally here are some new music from Yasin Bey's, formely known as Mos Def, and Mannie Fresh's upcoming project!
I'm just working and working, should see an end to it soon.
In times like these (the ones following me on twitter and facebook know I've been furious over what's going on in this country...plot of the bullheads) one needs to think about material thangs for a change, just to rest eyes on something that will fill you with harmony, meditating over them perfect shapes. I bought an other yellow pair in London last week, if this snow can melt down they'll be on like popcorn.
...and at KENZO in Kenzo, a skirt by Hernandez Cornet and a piece of shoes the Robyn fan has seen before. I made these for MTV VMA in 2010! Supposed to be worn with fresh flowers!
Other than that:
- I am remenicing over being into popping while watching the new Missy protégé Sharaya J in "Banji" (Missy must be amazingly happy over being able to sign an act who can have her first single actually called "Banji" in 2013)
- Making sure no one missed this piece. Am being joyful over how the issues we've always have been addressing with the whole 2FACED1 project finally hits the agenda of the "official Sweden"
It's here! The Fader just released the video for the 2FACED1-project, the short film The Ocean, wich of course also is the new single by Saturday, Monday featuring Julia Spada. Maceo Frost and Robin Günther took Bianca and Dennis to the island of Öland, yes you've seen Jasmin's pictures - those beautiful, cold Öland days.
Take a listen, the song is so beautiful, Julia's vocals are splendid and the universial tale of letting go is something all of us have our own private backdrop to.
Here comes another piece, me and the royal Pernilla Philip (also my muse at the moment - more to come on that) cooked up a vest for the Australia tour. We didn't want to compromise with the color so the blue leather bacame slightly thinner than planned but over all it did turn out great. Also check out; the Yayoi Kusama x Louis Vuitton tights - hepp.

METAL MAGAZINE described her as follows:
”Decida is a pop cultural nerd, music fiend and global inner-city citizen based in Stockholm. A "Jackie" of many trades who realized that the message is more important than the type of media you're working with, She has a background in social studies and graphic design, and is currently a Creative Director and a stylist or "Stylosopher", as she likes to say. "I'm one who uses clothing as codes for identity, knows the brand history both the official one and the one of the streets and sees style as a reaction of the society it's created in" she says."
