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.

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!


Fujiwara Interview-ed

Post date Tue 24 Aug 2010 1:24 PM

Since I've not been in the game for a couple of weeks, I just found this Hiroshi Fujiwara article in INTERVIEW. The picture above is from when a young Fujiwara is visiting Vivienne Westwoods studio during the 80s! Mr Fujiwara is inspiring as usual and totally on point when saying;

I hope there’s something happening which is new and independent that we know nothing about. Maybe it’s even being done by people who see our generation as an enemy. That can create energy as well.

Paris Men's Fashion Week: Street Bear

Post date Sun 27 Jun 2010 12:10 PM

Pennan's homie, Walter Van Beirendonck, could as well be classed as Street Wear this season (!), okay maybe my Neighbourhood-buying-boys would boggle back for that last bustier piece and one or two of the models, but still; Beirendonck SS 11 has a lot in common with Japanese Street Wear in this minute. Of course we like it!
