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.

Om man är svensk är det faen helt sjukt att Bradan och Majan båda heter pitt i efternamn.

Suits, Suits, Suits but With One Exception!

Post date Thu 19 Jan 2012 4:35 AM

The Menswear Fashion Season Fall 12 has started and so far it looks kind of boring, suits, suit, suits and some variation of suits, everywhere. Cause how much I may love suits on me myself, I am a woman, it will never be the same on a man. The suit campains this year just remind me of how limiteting menswear can feel, I tend to think of it as an extension of a very limited male norm. Add the thought of playing safe on account of the economic constraint and look around at your avarage Joe cause it says something about the current state of things also on a political scale.

BUT there is one exception so far, and it's spelled:

VERSACE

Wow, never in my life I would have expected Donatella Versace to do a Buffalo Boy that would make Ray Petri jolly for Fall 2012?! Oh yes the collection is spraggly and there are some crazy styles which fires in the wrong directions too, but that's a part of being brave so I can live with.

A Child Of Jago

Post date Wed 9 Mar 2011 6:37 PM

Sean from RockersNYC just apprised me on the brand A CHILD OF JAGO, created by Simon Armitage, who was raised in the London 80's punk scene,  used to be back up dancer for Mclaren affiliates Bow Wow Wow (I Want Candy) and an original member of the Stüssy tribe, and Joseph Corré, yes former Agent Provoucateur and also the child of Westwood/MCLearen. Bellow you see two Styles from their The Oath Of The Canting Crew Collection of FW 2011 where the Westwood heritage is traceable. See more over at their site and the Rockers Blog

"Books such as the London labour and the London poor by Henry Mayhem, and the Newgate calendar have been sources of inspiration this season… very appropriate considering their relationship to the East End and Clerkenwell areas. This is where Britain’s real heritage lies.. a heritage that has been swept under the cultural carpet and hidden behind a smokescreen of pseudo British tradition manufactured in China for the mass market."

Martine Rose SS 11

Post date Tue 28 Sep 2010 5:38 PM

I remember Martine Rose from the Timberland serie last year, and this time around she really proves she's one to count on! I'm impressed by this collection, it's not that we haven't seen the deconstructive Street Wear orientated style before (Dr Romanelli and Junya Watanbe etc) but the pieces Rose pitches togheter bears a bravness and attitude that remind me of our House God JP Gaultier's old creations, Junior Gaultier etc. And yes... that's something of ol' Marithe Francois Girbaud that pops up when you read these first letter Martine too!
