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.

Prep, Ivy, Hilfiger, Lo-lifes and Ralph

Post date Sat 20 Oct 2012 5:51 PM

Yesterdays Swedish Radio's P1 Stil included parts of the parallel history in their Prep theme (lord know it would have been way to boring otherwise...!) and your truly helped them out with that part! The host, journalist Susanne Ljung gives you the context of Prep, Trad, Ivy League and all in between, while my part (starts 40 min in, but don't skip the framework) focus on how Lo-Lifes racked the LO in POLO from Ralph Lauren, over to Tommy Hilfiger and Grand Puba, Snoop at SNL, Aaliyah and so on. Grand Puba brought Hilfiger to my world, dropping a classic line in 360 Degrees.

What's always crucial in the discussion of Prep is: who wears it in what context? One example: is there a difference in wearing a preppy style as a white person in a white majority culture compered to being a black or brown person wearing it preppy in a majority culture that is white? Us 2FACED1s are, as I say in the end of the interview, always used to put style in a social context.

(P1 Stil is in Swedish)

Puba, with his classic feature on Mary J.'s "What's The 411" remix, has our lady with him on "Check It Out", now offucially dubbed as theme of the night!

Oh...

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!
