”Fashion Victims” by Yolanda Dominguez sheds light as to who the real Fashion Victims are. In the recent events of the Bangladesh tragedy, it is important that we do not forget that the way we consume has a much bigger impact than what ends up in our closet.
Because we all know Lil Wayne has so much talent in design and fashion, he just had to create a pair of sneakers. But, really, that’s not why i wanted to make this post, it’s was just to show you the comments, such as “Air Weezy with downsyndrome” or, “Lil Wayne is an idiot. This is a clusterfuck of silhouettes and possibly the worst shoe I’ve ever seen.” and, “Wooooooooooooooooooooooow. Payless x Lil Wayne x Seizure x Jeremy Scott x Times Square x Gay night club”.
Hypebeast’s comments are always so hilarious.
Oh, those are the sneakers…Lil Wayne and Supra Chimera
I find the video fascinating, creating a mood, a world only with the music. You can just close your eyes and hear the sounds, and make you feel something.
Everything about this guy is intriguing to me. The way he moves, the way he raps, the sound of his voice, everything! I just love how it feels different from the Drake and Lil Wayne i keep hearing everywhere.
Over 30 years at Nike, Mike Friton is one of those person you wish he was your grandpa so he could teach you everything he knows. The way he works is absolutely interesting, starting from the base, and figuring how to transform, to create, and give a complete other shape to the object. Working also with different medium as weaving, textile, sewing, and paper craft, this guy is really something.
The aspect of of true creativity and the search of authenticity in something i find very interesting. Also that none of what they experienced was planned. All projects were somehow natural to them. They didn’t make plans, or knew from the start who they had to talk to (in the case of the Inoue Brothers). They only knew of the subject, and went to explore it. It seems like it was all very organic. They followed their “guts”. Wherever their creativity would lead them.
It’s something i find surreal. I’m thinking they have some sort of trust and faith in where their minds will lead them to. Strange, because i would be insanely scared to follow this path. Someone told me it’s because i’m a taurus, i like stability, and to know where i’m going. And, i also have my opposition sun in Pluto, so “i struggle with a deep need to control myself and life itself” And since i have my trine sun in Uranus, ” i embrace new ways of doing things” and i hate routine. So it’s pretty much an ongoing battle inside.
But when i see those creative people, going after what inspires them, and making such beautiful work ( i really loved the Ceremony of Solidarity) i find it immensely inspiring. As if, in the end, it all falls into place.
Note: i really tried to post the video on the blog so you wouldn’t have to go on the website, just to make more simple, but i can’t! I really tried! It’s not working!! So, i really hope you go see the video of the Inoue Brothers called the Ceremony of Solidarity: The Andean Chaccu, it’s truly beautiful.
