  • Portraits in Family Shoes
    Portraits in Family Shoes What does a shoe say about the wearer? Could your family be represented by drawing their shoes? What arrangement of shoes would best depict your family? Journal Exercise: Listing Exercise In your journal you will create several lists to help you start this project. On the top of the page and going across it list your family members. These will serve as column headings. If your family does not easily fit across the page turn so you can make your list in landscape mode. Under each person list their shoes. Underneath, I have started a list for my family. Start your list with shoes you see the person wearing the most, or that you think are particular favorites of the family member who wears them. You need not list every pair of shoes that family member owns (especially if the person owns 50 pairs of shoes), but try to list all of the shoes they wear often. You may then want to circle shoes you think are particularly emblematic for each family member. Shoes that really show their personality or role in the family.

  • When the War Ended in 1945, Europe Turned to the Task of Rebuilding, and Americans Once Again Looked West for Inspiration
    When the war ended in 1945, Europe turned to the task of rebuilding, and Americans once again looked west for inspiration. The swagger of the cowboy fitted the victorious mood of the country. Dude ranches were now a destination for even the middle class. Hopalong Cassidy and the puppet cowboy Howdy Doody kept children glued to their televisions, and Nashville’s country music industry produced one ‘rhinestone cowboy’ after another. Westerns were also one of the most popular film genres. As the movie director Dore Schary noted, ‘the American movie screen was dominated by strong, rugged males – the “one punch, one [gun] shot variety”.’43 In this milieu, cowboy boots became increasingly glamorous. Exagger- atedly pointed toes, high-keyed coloured leathers, elaborate appliqué and even actual rhinestone embellishments were not considered excessive. This period has been called the golden age of cowboy boots, and the artistry and imagination expressed in late 1940s and 1950s boot-making is staggering. The cowboy boot was becoming part of costume, a means of dressing up, of playing type. This point was made clear by the popularity of dress-up cowboy clothes, including boots, for children. Indeed, this transformation into costume was becoming the fate of many boots in fashion. Although most boot styles fell out of fashion in the 1950s, in the immediate post-war period a particular form of military footwear did pass into men’s stylish casual dress: the chukka boot, said to have come from India, and its variant, the desert boot. Designed as a low ankle boot with a two to three eyelet closure, chukkas were said to have been worn for comfort by British polo players both on and off the field in India.44 The simple desert boot was based on the traditional chukka but in Cairo during the war it was given a crepe sole and soft suede upper.

  • What Lays Between Two Toes Deconstruction and Affect: Exploring the Tabi Boots
    What lays between two toes Deconstruction and Affect: Exploring the Tabi boots Angelika Watta Department of Media Studies Stockholm University Master Thesis / Fashion Studies (30 credits) Spring 2021 Supervisor: Louise Wallenberg Abstract The purpose of this study is to explore the affective capacity of the Tabi boots by examining the object through the ideas of deconstruction. The boots by Maison Martin Margiela were first introduced in 1989 and sold in different variations over the course of the past 30 years. Although there have been several attempts to acknowledge the importance of the body in fashion studies, scholars have not focused on the literal experience of wearing a garment, examined through the touch. Thus, this study begins with a close object study of a pair of Tabi boots and draws on phenomenology to capture the feeling of being dressed. The emphasis is laid upon exploring how the ideas of deconstruction are embedded in the Tabi boots while staying open to other theoretical inquiries. Striving to test the affective potential of the boots, deduced in the first chapter, the second part of this thesis moves from the perception of the ‘I’ to other wearers of the Tabi boots. In conducting qualitative semi-structured interviews, the aim is to understand how the characteristics of the boots may affect the wearer and how this affective capacity may lead to a becoming, as defined by Gilles Deleuze and Felix Guattari. Guided by ‘applied theory’, this thesis allowed material, theory, and methods to continuously interact and affect each other. Keywords: Deconstruction, Affect Theory, Applied Theory, Object Study, Becoming, Tabi boots Acknowledgements I would like to express my thankfulness to the interviewees for their time, insights and openness towards this study.
