La Moda È Libertà, Non Omologazione editoriale [email protected] >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> La moda è libertà, non omologazione Nel corso della Storia, il modo di vestire di uomini e donne è sempre stato il riflesso diretto di una precisa fase storica, dei costumi e dei modi di vivere di una determinata epoca. La moda, in realtà, è sem- pre esistita: non è affatto un’invenzione del capitalismo globalizza- to o delle multinazionali. Solo che, anticamente, essa si basava attorno ai concetti di funzionalità, di distinzione, di appartenenza a un determinato ceto sociale, nobiliare o militare. È stato il nostro lento ma ine- sorabile cammino di modernizzazione e di emancipazione democratica a ren- dere la moda un fenomeno di massa. Ma in verità, essa è nata in quanto fenomeno di distinzione individuale, non come modello di abbigliamento standard, ‘tipizzato’ e obbligatorio per tutti. È esattamente questo il punto che dobbiamo cogliere: ancora nel XVIII secolo, tanto per fare un esem- pio, le divise militari prevedevano, come capo d’ordinanza fondamentale, una lunga calzamaglia dotata di ‘bre- telle’ che si ‘aggrappavano’ sino alle spalle. La calzamaglia maschile ha infatti rappresentato, per svariati secoli, un capo di abbigliamento che si era evoluto nel corso del tempo, sino raggiungere le divise pensate e dise- gnate da Napoleone Bonaparte per l’esercito francese. Oggi, invece, la moda ‘brucia’ ogni capo di abbiglia- mento nel breve volgere di una stagio- ne. E tale caratteristica, che l’ha resa ‘passeggera’ se non quasi temporanea, deriva dal fatto che il suo principio fondante non è più quello di produrre beni durevoli, bensì voluttua- ri, destinati a un consumo immediato. Tuttavia, quando un determi- nato modello di calzature risulta ormai ai piedi di tutti, ciò non significa affatto che esso stia andando di moda: al contrario, è la prova più evidente che quelle scarpe stanno già ‘morendo’, in quan- to prodotto ormai ‘inflazionato’. Essere alla moda non significa affat- to ‘omologarsi’ o standardizzarsi: questo è uno di quegli elementi ‘feticisti’ che hanno reso la moda un mondo futile e vacuo, da cervel- li all’ammasso. Diversamente, essere alla moda – o andare di moda, come si suol dire – dovrebbe rappresentare un tratto distintivo di innovazione e, persino, di coraggio. L’attuale ribaltamento irraziona- 3 > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > Periodico italiano MAGAZINE editoriale storiadicopertina >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> lista della moda è la semplice conseguenza di uno sviluppo troppo accelerato, che non corrisponde affatto a un segno evolutivo di pro- L’obbligo di essere gresso della società. Soprattutto, quando tale progresso non viene accompagnato da relativi strumenti di ‘decodificazione’ e di inter- pretazione antropologica. La moda, insomma, ha finito col diventa- belli ‘fuori’ re anch’essa una forma di ‘appiattimento’ collettivo e individuale: Può essere quel vestito che ci piace tanto, ma che gli altri considerano un modo per neutralizzare le ‘punte critiche’ che sorgevano sponta- ormai definitivamente fuori moda; il colore di capelli sbagliato; il non- nee nella società, al fine di conformarle e uniformarle.

E questo processo ha FRANCESCA BUFFO sempre avuto un nome ben preciso, che si richiama a un antico ‘filo- ne’ culturale tipico, in particolar modo, di italiani e francesi: il ‘mutualismo’. Esso è la tendenza a modificare, anche solo parzial- mente, ma costantemente e inesorabilmente, un bene qualsiasi, al fine di migliorarlo e renderlo sempre più funzionale alle esigenze collettive, anche fosse semplicemente quella di far bella figura durante un matrimonio o un battesimo. L’appiattimento e la stan- dardizzazione, invece, sono gli elementi ‘feticisti’, deviati e perversi, della moda, che rendono persino difficile celebrare un lieto evento, perché se ci vestiamo tutti quanti allo stesso modo, ciò significa che ci sono sempre meno occasioni per festeg- giare, o celebrare i momenti più importanti della nostra vita. La moda è una forma di libertà, non una costrizio- ne a consumare. È l’arte di creare nuove tendenze, nuovi atteggiamenti, persino nuovi modi di vive- re, non l’obbligo a vestirci tutti quanti alla stes- sa maniera, ad acquistare le medesime merci, a fare tutti le stesse identiche cose. Perché tutto è bene, quando esce dalle mani del suo crea- tore, ma tutto degenera, quando giunge nelle mani dell’uomo.

  • Grizzly Bear Återvänder Efter Fem Års Tystnad Med Nya Låten ”Mourning Sound”
    Grizzly Bear återvänder efter fem års tystnad med nya låten ”Mourning Sound” Bandet Grizzly Bear bestående av medlemmarna Ed Droste, Daniel Rossen, Chris Taylor och Chris Bear, är ett utav 00-talets mest prominenta och respekterade indieband med rötter i Brooklyn/Chicago. Sedan senaste släppet har bandet legat lågt i 5 år. År 2016 började de arbeta på nytt material och nu har Grizzly Bear äntligen avslutat studioarbetet med sitt kommande femte album ”Painted Ruins” som väntas släppas i sommar via RCA/Sony MusiC! Inofficiella debuten kom 2002 via ett hemsnickrat album avsett för vänskapskretsen, men som läckte och fick liv tack vare New Yorks underground-indiescen. Den officiella debuten kom istället 2004 med albumet ”Horn Of Plenty” som hyllades av både The New York Times & PitChfork. Sedan dess har bandet hunnit med att släppa albumen ”Yellow House”, ”Veckatimest” som i samband med releasen 2009 fick stor uppmärksamhet bland både fans och media samt albumet ”Shields” ifrån 2012. Under våren 2017 har teasers publicerats via det nystartade instagramkontot @grizzlybear där bandet själva teasat smakprov på ljud och bilder på vad som komma skall ifrån nya albumet. Detta i syfte att skildra den komplexa ljudbilden. Gruppen förklarar vidare: “The idea of the snippets on our new instagram @grizzlybear was something we thought people would enjoy. Our songs are usually so layered and dense and it seemed like a fun way to peel back the onion layers of the new album. So to clarify, it wasn't meant to torture you but more meant to show you small pieces of all the songs from the forthcoming album!” - Grizzly Bear Låten “Mourning Sound” premiärades på Zane Lowes Beats1 World ReCords-show i gårkväll i samband med en stor intervju med hela gruppen.

  • When Grizzly Bear Came to the End of the Road with Their Fourth Album, 2012'S 'Shields', the Future Was Unclear
    When Grizzly Bear came to the end of the road with their fourth album, 2012's 'Shields', the future was unclear. No dramatic decisions were made, no arguments were had, but there was a feeling as there always is with the foursome that a breather was required. The band who emerged in 2004 in Brooklyn, New York, have forever functioned as a self-described “democracy”. It's equal and it's fair but it can also take a lot of out of them. And so they went their separate ways and bedded down in different corners. Vocalist and songwriter Ed Droste adapted back to life in Los Angeles, his new adopted home and decided to distance himself from music and the industry, vocalist, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist Daniel Rossen moved to a remote area of upstate New York and continued to write and record on his own, drummer, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist Christopher Bear continued playing with various projects and worked on scoring a TV series, and vocalist, multi-instrumentalist, songwriter, and producer Chris Taylor decided to go West to LA after a one year stint in Berlin. He produced for other artists and made a solo record under the moniker CANT. Taylor, however, got restless. The band's mediator since the beginning, his feet started to itch after the usual six months of downtime. “I kinda kept writing everyone,” he says. “Telling them that we should start making a record. I wanted to be making music with my band again. I stayed busy, I wrote a cook book, produced other people, but my favorite thing to do was work with my band.

  • Grizzly Bear to Release New Album Painted Ruins August 18, Their First for Rca Records Global Headlining Tour Begins October
    GRIZZLY BEAR TO RELEASE NEW ALBUM PAINTED RUINS AUGUST 18, THEIR FIRST FOR RCA RECORDS GLOBAL HEADLINING TOUR BEGINS OCTOBER 5 LISTEN TO NEW SONG “MOURNING SOUND” HERE: http://smarturl.it/MOURNINGSOUNDps (New York – May 17, 2017) Today, Grizzly Bear has announced the August 18 release of PAINTED RUINS, their highly anticipated fifth full-length album, and first for RCA Records. In addition, the band has shared new album track “Mourning Sound.” That song follows “Three Rings,” another track from PAINTED RUINS released earlier this month and hailed as “spellbinding” (Rolling Stone), “insistent” (The New York Times), and “a sonically ambitious return” (Pigeons & Planes). Listen to “Mourning Sound” here: http://smarturl.it/MOURNINGSOUNDps Listen to “Three Rings” here: http://smarturl.it/THREERINGSps Grizzly Bear – Chris Bear, Ed Droste, Daniel Rossen and Chris Taylor – spent the better part of two years writing and recording the eleven new compositions on PAINTED RUINS. Taylor produced the album with sessions taking place primarily at Allaire Studios in upstate New York, and at various locations around Los Angeles, including his own Terrible Studios (Three members of Grizzly Bear now live in Los Angeles; Rossen lives in Santa Fe, NM). Grizzly Bear will embark on a worldwide headlining tour following the release of PAINTED RUINS - full itinerary below. PAINTED RUINS follows 2012’s Shields, which was a critical and commercial breakthrough. Debuting at #7 on the Billboard 200 and named the #1 Album of the Year by Apple iTunes, Shields earned the band Pitchfork Best New Music and four star Rolling Stone reviews; performances on Colbert, Fallon, Letterman, Austin City Limits and Ellen; and sold out shows at Radio City Music Hall in New York City and the Greek Theatre in Los Angeles.
