    The Spirit of the Black Dress Page 1 of 5 The Spirit of the Black Dress TULLIA JACK, WGSN 08.10.09 The inaugural Spirit of the Black Dress event aims to promote emerging Australian fashion and textile designers. Designers from across the continent were asked to submit their interpretation of the wardrobe staple then 10 were selected to represent the event for 2009. The 10 final designs The successful applicants are a varied and talented group who have come together to lead the way forward for Australian fashion. As part of the application the designers were asked to respond to the question of sustainability and a dominant theme was the use of upcycled textiles to create a functional multipurpose garment, contrasting dramatically with the fast-fashion consumer culture that currently reigns on the high street. The garments were photographed by Christian Blanchard and hung in a gallery format alongside the dresses giving viewers the inspirational and physical side by side. Creative types from across the genres of styling, photography, hair, make-up and design were given the opportunity to flex their imagination and create directional images that demonstrate the way forward for Australian design.

  • Inca Archaeoastronomy
    Steven R. Gullberg, Ph.D. Coordinator for Archaeoastronomy College of Professional and Continuing Studies University of Oklahoma Norman, Oklahoma, USA Chair, International Astronomical Union Working Group for Archaeoastronomy and Astronomy in Culture [email protected] © Steven R Gullberg Astronomy was an integral part of Andean mythology and creation, and was at the very heart of the Incas’ religion and agriculture. The Incas proclaimed themselves to be the children of the Sun. They worshipped it and viewed their emperor as being the Sun’s direct descendant. The civilization of the Incas was built upon cultures that had preceded them such as the Huari, Nasca, and Chavin. Their period of dominance, lasting only a century, was far too short to independently develop such advanced forms of religion, social structure, construction, and astronomy. The Incas were adept assimilators of knowledge, both what was available at the time of their empire’s inception, as well as that of the many tribes conquered during their reign. The Emperor, Pachacuti, his son, and grandson successively built the largest empire ever known in the Americas, 4800 km from Chile to Columbia. They established armies in fortresses at distant stations with the infrastructure of roads and storehouses that was necessary to support them. Temples and shrines were constructed as a part of exerting state control over its subjects, as well as pilgrimage centers designed to reinforce the legitimacy of royal rule over the populace. The Incas made solar worship the official religion of their empire. Pachacuti imposed it across the realm, maintaining that he was the son of the Sun and his wife the daughter of the Moon.
