Ready-Made-Mode Über Vetements
MODE READY-MADE-MODE Über Vetements Monica Titton ie Mode von Vetements (›vêtements‹: frz. für ›Kleidung‹) ist unschein- 69 D bar, dezidiert alltagstauglich und eigentlich nichts Besonderes. Trotzdem sind die Sachen ausverkauft und das Label extrem gehypt. Hinter Vetements steht ein 5- bis 15-köpfiges Design-Kollektiv mit Sitz in Paris, die erste Kollek- tion wurde im Frühjahr 2014 im Pariser Schwulenclub Le Dépot vorgestellt. Zunächst kannte man Vetements nur in engsten Pariser Modekreisen. Spätes- tens seit Demna Gvasalia, gewissermaßen das Oberhaupt des Kollektivs, im Oktober 2015 die Nachfolge von Alexander Wang als Chefdesigner des altehr- würdigen Modehauses Balenciaga antrat, wurde Vetements jedoch einer breite- ren Öffentlichkeit bekannt. Die Modewelt ist freilich in ihrer Einschätzung gespalten wie schon lange nicht mehr – erstaunlich für eine Branche, in der Provokationen und Regelbrü- che auf der Tagesordnung stehen und darum keine mehr sind. Die Abneigung und Verstörung hat tatsächlich mit der Mode des Labels zu tun. Vetements spuckt der Modewelt vertraute, jedoch subtil modifizierte Alltagskleidung vor die Füße: zum Beispiel überdimensionierte Bomber-Jacken, bodenlange schwar- ze Regenmäntel mit »Vetements«-Logo oder »Polizei«-Schriftzug auf dem Rü- cken, aus zwei verschiedenen Paar alten Levi’s zusammengenähte Jeans mit aus- gefransten, asymmetrischen Hosensäumen, martialische Plateaustiefeletten, unauffällig geschnittene, aber schmeichelnde geblümte Sommerkleider, Over- size-Kapuzenpullover und Sweatshirts mit Textfragmenten am Ärmel oder auf der Brust und stinknormale Baumwoll-T-Shirts mit passiv-aggressiven Slogans POP. Kultur und Kritik ◆ Heft 9 Herbst 2016 ◆ S. 69–79 ◆ © transcript (»Hello Boys«, »May the bridges I burn light the way«, »You Fuckin’ Ass- hole«). Der Stil von Vetements ist die Antithese zu luxuriöser High Fashion und lässt sich als post-sowjetischer Normcore beschreiben, als eine Mischung aus Berghain-Look und 90er-Jahre-Anti-Fashion. -

Praising Vetements: the Celebrity Digital Surface and the Making of a Leading Fashion Brand
Essays — Peer Reviewed ZoneModa Journal. Vol. 7 (2017) https://doi.org/10.6092/issn.2611-0563/7603 ISSN 2611-0563 (Ap)Praising Vetements: the Celebrity Digital Surface and the Making of a Leading Fashion Brand David Sanchez-Aguilera Published: December 29, 2017 Abstract In this paper, I situate the meteoric rise of the Parisian fashion collective Vetements within the paratex- tual circulation of celebrity images that have accompanied the press, media, and publicity coverage for this brand. I argue that “selling out” is a pithy turn-of-phrase that is useful for understanding Vetements’ aesethetic and business sensibilities. As the literalness of the translation of Vetements into “clothes” makes clear, Vetements strips the wide-eyed lure of luxury fashion—one that evokes both the extrava- gancy of the runway or red carpet and the expert craftsmanship of couture—and replaces it with a form of what I am calling spectacular mundanity, offering products that are simultaneously more and less real than your mother’s weathered, vintage Champion hoodie. The brand’s exchange value, I argue, is made extravagant not through any notion of intrinsic worth, as is the case with couture and the logics of congealed labor and expert craft held therein, but rather through the symbolic surplus value generated through the brand’s proximity to celebrity culture and its discursively constructed status as an “it brand”.

How Fashion Erased the Politics of Streetwear in 2017

More information about this work at: https://academicworks.cuny.edu/gj_etds/219 Discover additional works at: https://academicworks.cuny.edu This work is made publicly available by the City University of New York (CUNY). Contact: [email protected] Mask On: How Fashion Erased the Politics of Streetwear in 2017 By Frances Sola-Santiago Hip-hop culture dominated the fashion zeitgeist in 2017. From a Louis Vuitton and Supreme collaboration to Gucci’s support of Harlem designer Dapper Dan’s store reopening, the fashion industry welcomed Black culture into the highest echelons of high fashion. Rapper Cardi B became the darling of New York Fashion Week in September after being rejected by designers throughout most of her career. Marc Jacobs traded the runway for the street, staging a show that included bucket hats, oversized jackets, and loads of corduroy on a large number of models of color. But while the industry appeared to diversify by acknowledging the indomitable force of hip-hop culture, it truly didn’t. The politics of hip-hop and Black culture were left out of the conversation and the players behind-the-scenes remained a homogeneous mass of privileged white Westerners. Nearly every high fashion brand this year capitalized on streetwear— a style of clothing born out of hip-hop culture in marginalized neighborhoods of New York City and Los Angeles, and none recognized the historical, cultural, and political heritage that made streetwear a worldwide phenomenon, symbolizing power and cool. -

Bridging the Two Cultures: Georgian Contemporary Artists Exhibited In
SILK IN GEORGIAN CULTURE AND RELIGION: PAST AND PRESENT Dr. Prof. Irina Bakhtadze INTRODUCTION Silk is a Philosophy Today, silk producers and designers have found new application of silk fiber. Silk is a philosophy: it is everywhere and yet invisible; Silk is a bridge between civilizations (Ancient Silk Rout), between the epochs - past and present; Silk has been a part of many religions - Christian, Muslim, Buddhism, appearing in religious attire, embroidery and different religious items; it has become a material and immaterial commodity throughout centuries; Silk is transparent and light, and still very firm; Its softness, elegance and grace have inspired poets and artists, and is loved by rich and poor alike. Silk could become our vision of peaceful world which is not cruel, vulgar and coarse; Silk is our wish to see the future relations between the nations as soft and transparent, as firm and clear as silk itself; Silk is a network made of delicate thin silk thread which unites world nations, many of which are presented here at the conference; Silk is like a Sphinx which is being revived all the time; it finds new life forms and is virtually immortal! It continues to find new applications in industry, art, fashion. Historical roots: Sericulture in Orthodox, Islamic and other religions have always been a part of common historical memory. Historical roots of silk production in Georgia, wide application of silk fiber and silk thread in different branches of industry, culture, religion, art and lifestyle, historical annals reflecting sericulture and silk application – all evidence about the significance of sericulture and silk production in Georgia Ancient trade route from west to East -“Silk Road” passed through Georgia which played an important role in popularization of silk production and silk trade. -

Design to Algorithmic-Design, Design Used to Dictate
Back in 2003, Berlin was described by its former mayor Klaus Wowereit as “arm, aber sexy” (poor, but sexy) – despite being one of the fastest- rising property markets in the world, with as much as 35 percent overvaluation. Berlin still boasts many creatives, with more affordable studio and living spaces than New York or 01/08 London, albeit fewer job opportunities.1 To understand why most freelance creatives struggle with depression and face the stigmas associated with mental illness in Berlin, one could look at some commonly used words that exist only in the German language: Unverbindlich, non committed; Phlegmatisch, skipping everything to the point of not doing anything; Ahmet ğüt Verrafft, people who are confused about life; and something right-wing extremists like to use: Links-Grün-versifft, left-green-dirty. From Self- ÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊYes, Berlin is still proudly a stronghold of the left, green, and dirty; and its queer club Design to scene also actively fights to protect the city’s politically engaged culture so that Berlin doesn’t Algorithmic- become just another global center for entertainment.2 In spite of all this, it’s not at all a coincidence that Germany was represented at Design the 2017 Venice Biennale by an artist who wore a Balenciaga hat while receiving the Golden Lion award for best pavilion.3 This was perhaps a double confirmation of the institutionalization of streetwear garments as high fashion, developing hand in hand with the adoption of “attitude” as high art. This is a far cry from the days when, for example, legendary fashion designer and activist Katharine Hamnett met with Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher in 1984 and wore a T-shirt that read “58% DON’T WANT PERSHING,” protesting the installation of US missiles on t British soil.
