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.

The Intern: Stocktown / Decida

Post date Mon 28 Nov 2011 9:19 PM

It’s me... again... Hope you haven’t got tired of me yet! However Decida is still workig on the site and lots of other stuff. I’m watching a video by STOCKTOWN- Culture In Motion,  where she was featured this Spring and presents a clip that she has chosen as curator of the week. The clip is from the documentary Wildwood, that also has been featured in this blog earlier. But seriosly the girl in the blue shirt in Wildwood is bullshiting waaay to much, I wonder whar happened to her... Stocktown also wrote an introduction to Decida, and she's especially proud of the “modern day renaissance woman” bit but says her hair among other things is a mess! She will present two more videos later this week, stay tuned!

PS: Haven't gotten my lunch yet.

Return of the Intern II

Post date Sun 27 Nov 2011 2:39 PM

It’s the Intern again! Today Decida was interviewed about herself and her awsome work, then we had a lunch meeting, and planned alot of very interesting stuff, that I’m really looking forward to! Right now i’m sitting in the office with her, she’s been working, hardcore style (she even belived it was Friday today), on the website; 2faced1.com 2.0 that will be up ASAP! So the past week has mostly been all work no play, but it will be great once the site is up n’ going and after that it’s lots of more great things to come, so expect nothing but the best from 2FACED1! I caught the bizzy one on film:

Decida in her fresh Jeremy Scott/Adidas jacket.

PS. She should pay me for writing on her blog....!

The Intern Is Back!

Post date Thu 17 Nov 2011 3:48 PM

Whats up 2F1's! It's Alex the Intern, i'm back to that PRAO LIFE again! I'm sitting here thinking about how I gained knowledge of and came in contact with the 2FACED1-family, and decided to share some of my favorite post during the years I've been following this blog - while I tell you a little bit about why I choose these particular ones!

L O N G C O A T
- The first one is a blogpost from 2009 that makes me a little bit nostalgic, and yes I know I'm just 15 and that was only two years ago but still it was a long time ago for me(!), it was when I first started reading the Decida Style blog and have been following it ever since, and note the Gypsie's comment! + the fact that Decida obviously was right about these coats if you look around!

- The second blog post is about this cool original 2FACED1 that I never had heard of or knew about before Decida mentioned her! I didn't even know that there was a Swedish internationally known artist doing my type of music, and I also got a better understanding for what a 2FACED1 is. I also realized that my father was, just as Decida, a die hard fan of Neneh when he was younger, and whenever I asked about her he started to sing lines from her songs!

- The third blog post is The Stylosopher on Léon which is a great movie and just a great Stylosopher post that I think you all remember! The Stylosopher is not only a style icon, it's a person who express how they live their life through style!

2FACED1 Essentials
- The fourth blog post is the 2FACED1 essentials post which I think is very important because 2FACED1 has a deeper meaning, so it's important to read it and specially if you still don't get what a Swedish 2FACED1 is/stands for (there are different 2FACED1s all over the world!), then you should really read this!

- The fifth blog post is about no other than my favourite, Mr. West and his magnificent all white everything performance on Saturday Night Live, however a discussion here on the 2FACED1 Headquarters has occured, that never seems to end, about if KanYe is a better artist than Lil' Wayne etc. It has been taken so far that Decida has compared their heart siezes...! Also the Gypsie has attcked me with comments on Wayne's supremacy (even thought she's most of all is a 50 Cent fan...), they conspire against me!!! But they didn't stand in the first row on his Way Out West concert and saw his masterpiece... I should stop now before I get too emotional... Just choose this to make a beautiful ending on this post (and to hopefully also piss off the Gypsie and Decida)! Lil Wayne pff...

Now That...

Post date Thu 22 Sep 2011 5:12 PM

..."We Found Love" is the name of Rhinna's new single. The Gypsie and others have been complaining about how little Rhinna they've seen on the blog during this last year, well her style anno 2011 just didn't fight her way in here. But now we're talking: Rhianna in black and white, a 90s feel with 50's curls, jeans and baggies and those BALENCIAGA's I crowned the shoe of the year in January!!! The song? Well let's say it's not how I have my tea.
