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, nationality, gender, sexuality 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. It means you have the feet in different worlds, can move between them but feel rather at home in that space in between. You've stepped out of your comfort zone and have become one of the new identities where ol' categories are mashed up and rootlessness and non-given identity just means major possibilities.

Style Salvage has an interview up with one of my newer favorite menswear brands CASLEY HAYFORD, feat photos from the new look book of SS10! And just like us 2FACED1s they've: "always been interested in the idea of 'the trans-cultural' - an enriched summation of many cultures to create a unified whole, forming a sartorial mix which is unique to the UK and possibly at it's most direct in London."

Impressive!

The Congolese Sape

So finally what I promised you month ago;

Via Hector Mediavilla photo documention I came to know of the Congolese Sape Culture, a 25 year old african subculture consisting of so called Sapeaurs dressed up in the most extravagant and expensive suits you can imaging, always under the 3 color rule.

Pape Le Sape, the originator of the culture is said to be musician PAPA WEMBA who developed a flamboyant style inspired by European and Parisian Fashion, in a time when Zaire just had been liberated from years under Belgian government - and when western clothing was not accepted by the new leader Mobutu Sese Seko!

The culture innit self, over focus on the actual looks and has non of the bourgeoisie attitude which high end brands ususally want to see attached to their brands. The braggadocio has as a matter of fact a lot in common with the flashing of Lo-life Culture (Ralph Lauren PoLO-lifes) SURFACE IS EVERYTHING!

Read more on this in COLORs Magazine over here

Recently PAUL SMITH togheter with author Daniele Tamagni followed the same trace, making the book GENTLEMEN OF BACONGO (get it here), after a trip down to Zaire. This trip also came to, as the daily reader know, inspire Paul Smiths lovely WMNs Collection of SS 10 (scroll down)
