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.

Matthew Ames Fall 2010

Post date Tue 27 Jul 2010 9:05 AM

Since I woke up with a FB friend request from the amazing Matthew Ames (!), I realised I forgot to post his present collection! Like I said before. And then again.

The volumes we love! Perfect choice of shoes and especially the grey shiny fabric is amazing, you saw something similar in the Adam Kimmel collection, twisted another way around but still out of the same zeitgeist core in a way. See more at Style.com.

Paris Men's Fashion Week: Adam Kimmel SS 11

Post date Sat 26 Jun 2010 11:16 AM

Paris Men's Fashion week is on, had plans to be there but London made it impossible. A Shaded View on Fashion keeps me updated, was just looking at Juun J ss 10 and then Henrik Vibskov ss 10 over there. But what really got me stoked was Adam Kimmel's SS 11, using Mr Snoop Dogg as the muse!!! Mr Kimmel's sure instinct is amazing, I'm really impressed! It's all about taking the ugly out of the 90'es and make it shine again, mixing navy with black and gray, dressed with casual, shades of blue with each others and turn bad fit into a new fit!

Christopher Shannon FW10

Post date Thu 22 Apr 2010 12:56 PM

Christopher Shannon's AW 10 is exactly what I've been looking for, an 2010 take on classic sports wear as Evrlast, East Pak and CRAFT looked in the 90'ies but with contrasting fashionable details. We talked about mixing navy with black and white with off-white before, also notice choice of fabrics.  His present collection is avaliable at OKI-NI. See more site.
