UP TO YOU by Kansai Yamamoto Jacket

NO. 10 YOU’RE NOT ALONE!

AN OFFENSIVE ART MAY AROUSE ANXIETY ABOUT THE RITUAL CODE; THE OFFENDER ALLAYS THIS ANXIETY BY SHOWING BOTH THE CODE AND HE AS AN UPHOLDER OF IT ARE STILL IN WORKING ORDER.

IT IS NEITHER THE TRADITIONS NOR THE UNWRITTEN LAWS OF FASHION THAT DETERMINE WHAT HAPPENS, BUT THE DESIGNER HIMSELF. 

BLACK SISSI, DIRK VAN SAENE 1998-9

THEIR FAILING EFFORTS OFTEN PRODUCE QUITE HYPERREALISTIC IMAGES...IT’S THE TENSION BETWEEN THESE IMPERFECT ATTEMPTS TO CREATE A CERTAIN IMAGE AND THAT WHICH IS CONSIDERED SOCIALLY ACCEPTABLE 

THE OTHER SIDE, NAN GOLDIN (1993)

I NEVER SAW THEM AS MEN DRESSING AS WOMEN, BUT AS SOMETHING ENTIRELY DIFFERENT - A THIRD GENDER THAT MADE MORE SENSE THAN EITHER OF THE OTHER TWO...SINCE MY EARLY TEENS, I’D LIVED BY AN OSCAR WILDE SAYING, THAT YOU ARE WHO YOU PRETEND TO BE.

BLUE MIGHT BE THE WARMEST COLOUR BUT WHEN I SEE YOU I SEE PURPLE

 1998/99 W&LT KISS THE FUTURE! BLAZER

W&LT KISS THE FUTURE! T-SHIRT
