English language. doi: 10.1386/cc.1.1.59_1 Brent Luvaas Drexel University Shooting street style in Indonesia: A photo essay1 Abstract Keywords Street-style blogs have become a major Internet phenomenon in the last few years, street style luring millions of readers and documenting everyday fashion in diverse cities around Indonesia the globe. But the Southeast Asian island nation of Indonesia, despite an abundance photography of other varieties of fashion blogs and a population with some of the highest percent- blogs ages of social media use in the world, remains decidedly off the street style map. This fashion photo essay seeks both to understand why and to begin filling in that gap. Through full-colour and black and white photographs taken by the author on a recent trip to Indonesia, along with reflections and thoughts inspired by the photographs, it inves- tigates the vibrant and idiosyncratic expressions of style happening in Indonesia today. But it also questions the very qualification of these images as ‘street style 1. All photographs by photographs.’ Does street style have to happen on ‘the streets’, this essay asks, to be Brent Luvaas. street style? For if so, Indonesia’s urban model seems to preclude participation. And does ‘cool,’ that occult quality ascribed to the subjects of street style photographs, translate to an Indonesian context? This essay both adheres to, and calls into ques- tion, the conventions of street style photography to document the myriad meanings of ‘style’ and ‘street’ in contemporary Indonesia.

  • African-Print Fashion Now! a Story of Taste, Globalization and Style March 26–July 30, 2017
    Press Release African-Print Fashion Now! A Story of Taste, Globalization and Style March 26–July 30, 2017 Organized by the Fowler Museum at UCLA, African-Print Fashion Now! A Story of Taste, Globalization, and Style, introduces audiences to the dynamic traditions of African dress featuring colorful, boldly patterned printed cloth. The exhibition highlights the interplay between regional preferences and cosmopolitanism that has long flourished on the continent, while highlighting the expansiveness of 21st-century African-print fashion. The works featured throughout the exhibition demonstrate the vital role that African-print has played in the expression of beauty, fashion, and heritage, while creating transcultural connections across Africa and into the larger world. The exhibition is organized into four distinct sections: “It All Starts with Cloth,” “Portraits in Print,” “Regional Styles, Fashion Preferences,” and “New Directions.” Collectively, the installation includes sixty tailored fashions, one hundred archival and contemporary cloths, twenty black-and-white studio portrait photographs from the 1960s and 1970s, a series of runway videos, and seven works by contemporary visual artists. Ensembles on view draw from the Fowler’s collections, private loans, and the extensive archives of the Dutch textile manufacturing company Vlisco. Several themes weave their way throughout the exhibition, mimicking the cyclical nature of fashion trends and the ripple effects of politics and technology on the formation of identity. One theme is consumer agency, both in determining designs and patterns through purchasing power and by commissioning unique ensembles from seamstresses and tailors. Another theme is the theatrical power of fashion, and its ability to express individualism or collective solidarity, whether in a family portrait or Women’s Day Marches in communities across the continent.

  • Dressing the Alter Ego: Alter Ego Swing Dancers with Day Jobs1)
    pISSN 2233-9051 International Journal of Costume and Fashion eISSN 2288-7490 Vol. 14 No. 1, June 2014, pp. 47-62 Dressing the Dressing the Alter Ego: Alter Ego Swing Dancers with Day Jobs1) Judy Park Dept. of Clothing and Textiles, Sungkyunkwan University, Republic of Korea (Received April 29, 2014; Revised June 5, 2014; Accepted June 9, 2014) Abstract People today belong to many different subcultures and have diverse interests. Their job no longer defines who they are, while their pastimes can be a bigger reflection of their inner self. This ar- ticle examines swing dancers in Korea, and focuses on their self-identity and how they express this through clothes. Based on in-depth interviews, observations and photographs of swing dancers with dif- ferent day jobs, the study results find that most of the subjects intentionally incorporate swing dance cues in their daily work wardrobe, and that this makes them feel more comfortable, honest and satisfied with their job and identity, both as a swing dancer and working professional. Key words swing dance, dress, identity, self-expression, Korea Introduction There was a time when people once thought that what you do defines who you are. However, people today, especially young people, do not let what they do for a living define who they are. They are growing more interested in having a full life and enjoying different things, and have more than one ego. For example, riders in Korea used to be limited to teenagers and people in their early twenties who en- joyed the thrill of speed and getting away from the pressures of adults and society, but in the 2000s, the rider subculture expanded to include young men in their thirties with white collar jobs and children (Ha and Park 2011, p.

Themes: ● 70s and 80s ○ Police Brutality in the United States and the Black Panther Party ■ How did “self-actualization”and police brutality inspire groups like the Black Panther Party to build the foundation for the birth of hip-hop and streetwear fashion? ○ Graffiti and Social Movements ■ How did black and brown communities respond to continued police brutality and poverty globally? What art was produced as a response to these grievances while also building community? ■ How did graffiti play a role in advancing the hip-hop movement? ● 90s ○ Michael Jordan and Sneakers ■ Jordans quickly became incorporated into streetwear, so they were always in high demand. Because Jordans were vastly consumed by Black people, Jordans quickly became associated with crime and violence. ● Spike Lee commercial ○ Streetwear, Urbanwear and Luxury Brands ■ Luxury Designers, and NY Fashion week had a disdain for urban fashion. Not only was the word “urban” synonymous to “ghetto”, but this label was used to exclude black designers, and people from big media platforms, fashion shows and stores.

  • Fashion, Personal Style, and the Sartorialist
    IMAGES ON THE STREET: FASHION, PERSONAL STYLE, AND THE SARTORIALIST by Meghan Lengyell Bachelor of Arts Honours, Queens University, 2007 A thesis presented to Ryerson University and York University In the partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in the Program of Communication and Culture Toronto, Ontario, Canada, 2011 © Meghan Lengyell 2011 I hereby declare that I am the sole author of this thesis.

The paper argues that, as a digital archive of streetstyle, The Sartorialist creates a convincing portrait of the mythic notion of self­invention through fashion by tying style to a variety of elements of the real. Through a distant reading of the archive and semiotic analysis of the images, the underlying structures of meaning­making on the site are revealed. Through a condensation of Nancy’s theory of the image and Benjamin’s conception of the wish in the dream, I argue that The Sartorialist both validates and highlights the ultimate limitations of the urban project of fashion and encourages a particular way of looking at the world.

I particularly investigate how, through the lens of the nail industry, issues surrounding class, race, and femininity are played out in Tokyo today. The visible gap between women who can afford, either economically or socially, to wear extreme forms of nail art publically marks women as culturally acceptable or socially transgressive. Scofield, R. “Nailed It”. http://escholarship.org/uc/ucdavislibrary_streetnotes Streetnotes (2012) 20: 111-133 112 ISSN: 2159-2926 Urban Divides In Tokyo, Japan, women’s proclivities for extreme fashion might be hidden at first to an untrained eye. Sitting demurely on crowded trains in sedate blouses and skirts, many Japanese women quietly carry in their purses the small items, like rhinestone-coated cell phones and bejeweled mirrors, which allow them to consume princess-inspired styles without publically drawing attention to themselves. Other young Tokyo women, however, brazenly display their commitment to fashion trends by marching down the street in six-inch platforms, fishnet leggings, and bra-baring tops.
