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.

UNDR CRWN s vs Adidas Coogie Sneaker

Post date Fri 25 May 2007 6:38 AM
UNDR CRWN did a printed version of the Coogie Pattern for track suits and tees now the print is back on the Adidas Collabo, check it at High Snobiety

Coogie should've done some collabos themselves at this point...but I guess they live in a whole another world.

Baby Phat Fall 2007- most def not street fashion

Post date Thu 24 May 2007 9:45 AM

Went through the Fall Collection of Baby Phat the other day despite my feelings against Kimora Lee… She’s in the same leauge as Tyra and in my world we only got two words for them, it’s two swedish ones: SANSLÖSA KVINNOR, its like senseless women in english but you have to hang out with my crew for a day or two the get the exact meaning.


In some way their lack of sense fascinates me, I mean how fun isn’t it that Tyra is trying to portrait herself like a young Oprah with her own ”Show”… BUT; women with a an urge is a positive thing, it's just sad that not all of us have it which ends up with the wrong woman on wrong spot.

Anyways running down Tyra or Kimora on this blog feels kind of wrong and at the same time I went out on the net to check for the new collections eaven if I knew I probably not would be suprised. I went out there for some glamour and I got some:



I like that the team behind Baby Phat used a lot of short haired modells, the contrast between them and the clothes are perfect. My favourite set would be the black one on Omahyra, looking real 90'ies, like something Naomi could have been shooted in back then!




I can’t stop thinking about how the street smart hip hop chick (not Kimora herself but the culture she used to represent) became the symbol of femininity no 1 in high stilettos...it’s like becoming the ultra-female was her deep inside wish if she only had the money?!

It's certainly not Baby Phat that takes it back to the streets, U already know that ...but If you want this style it's nice clothes. Period.

Duane Hanson

Post date Wed 23 May 2007 9:26 AM


Yesterday I spend the whole day at Denmarks Museum of Modern Art "Arken", got the chance to experiance an incredible exhibition by the late photo realistic sculptor Duane Hanson (1925-1996, born by Swedish emmigrants in Minnesota) "Sculptures of the American Dream".

"Duane Hanson was especially fascinated by old people, big people and workmen; by wrinkles, furrows and scars who speak of the life that has been lived. He explored the stories written in the body.
With satire, humour and compassion Duane Hanson put a human face on the American stereotypes from the lower middleclass. The sculptures are weary, owerweight and dressed in tasteless outfits. The American dream seems to remain unfulfilled."


All of spring 2007 ARKEN presents 22 of Hanson’s lifelike sculptures and nine sculpture parts.

Also check the book Hatje Cantz has put out about Duane Hanson (Book store Konsti-ig at Plattan Sthlm, might have it?)

Yeah Im in Copenhagen for a dance job, and eaven though I had to practise nearly the whole day I took some time off for a short visit to the Wood Wood (Krystalgade 4) and

Henrik Vibskov (Krystalgade 6) stores.


At Wood Wood I found Jeremy Scott who's been a long time favourite in my house, they had the shades in gold and silver with the J S Signature on the arms (pic from Colette where U also can get em. Fredrik Skogkvists model got the polka striped ones further down)and also the bag and tee with the Jeremy Dollar on

And also, of course, a lot of great Bernhard Willhelm stuff (as usual) a lovley flower printed ryg sac for example. Won't forget to mention the Wood Wood camoflage overalls and shirts for the summer, you've seen them before and can do it again on the site. One of the girls in the store looked a little bit like she could have been a relative in her bright colored chinos...girl had style hehehe!

In the Vibskovs store I found a couple of items from Miss Carrie Mundanes Cassette Playa, crazy stuff you know. I wanna see this label on somebody as bright and bold as the clothes themselves...no pale skinny fashion nerds... No I should not say that- I would be happy to see any one in those wondurful clothes (check older topic Sonic The Muse).

Vibskov isn't to bad him self, saw the lovely cardigans and some other custard colored shorts and jackets, but I hadn't the time to stay there very long (and those huge lamps are crazy hot?!)

Those stores actually provide clothes that suits my style so I really REALLY had to convince myself to not exeed the budget for this month... instead I will return to Sweden with this...

It so fucking ugly I had to buy it. 16.80 DK at Sysrarna Greene. Galne Gunnar has to bite it.

Behind the Scenes Kingsize Photoshoot 19/1

Post date Sun 20 May 2007 10:11 AM

Vi var ute i obyggden och plåtade till Kingsize Magazine i fredags, underbart väder och grym plåtning av alla inblandade!!!! Photos Zelam Fessahaye (Køpenhamn ær skyldig till konstiga æ:n och ø:n...jag ær i Danmark)


Det var som ett tecken vår fotograf heter EA och Lönngren i efternamn och han är född 2+5=7 och med nian efter=79. Det är sådant man kan roa sig med att tänka ut när man väntar långa stunder som modellen Jamel just fick göra
.
Före och Efter

Plötsligt satt han bara där på en sten i skogen, klart vi tog med Manso i shootet

Nadia a k a Haidi and Anna doing their thing. Jag hade värsta planerna för Eimis hår men sen visade sig att det var alldeles för kort när vi tog ut henne cornrows. Så vi fick freestyla, och jag hade lovat Eimi att spara håret på hjässan så vi fick köra något som påminde om vad vi bla haft på Adiam förut men det var i allafall lite kortare. Men ohhhh jag har fetaste frippan i skallen som måste ut ut ut snart! Next level som Showbiz & A G!!!

Den økände Kingsize-Matte dök upp och tvingade oss att ta med hans lilla ögonsten Husla, Husla är en av de få hundar jag gillar faktiskt och han skötte sig utmärkt (Matte också)! Ostbågar är det man jobbar med för avanserad hunddressyr btw.

Vet inte vad EA försöker göra här, men Husla ær i alla fall galet ointresserad

Sista handen innan

Matte kommer INTE synas i bild



En folkilsk gubbe dok upp på denna location som sa att vi skulle ge oss i væg på en gång, lite jobbigt men vi skickade fram vårt sækraset charmkort Andreas Lønngren som har vældigt fin hand med ældre mæn, vilket gav resultat
