How to coop a piece of culture and then offend that culture
Image by nata2
This is pretty madness. I love how all the hipsters grab this and then rock it. And this one has all the violent imagery. I imagine george bush would approve. And its dutch.. those dudes just can't stop fucking with people... hah.
Sadly, i think that the artists don't mean to offend: "The scarfdesign is based on the known PLO scarf, the design reflects on the conflicting connotations of this piece of clothing, used as a religious, terrorist, subculture or fashion icon." - but it seems a little bit insensitive.

Two University of Salford fashion students have been working with Asda to create stylish outfits from recycled plastic bags as part of an exhibition at the Lowry, Salford Quays.
Fiona Oakes and Richard Thorner created the three outfits from 3,000 plastic bags at the request of advertising agency BJL which is running an exhibition that explores the link between art and advertising.
The ‘Art and Advertising - A Creative Fusion’ exhibition shows some of the best designs created for BJL’s clients over the years. As one of those clients, Asda worked with the two students to create the designs.
Art and Advertising - A Creative Fusion runs until 11 April 2010 at the Lowry and is free to attend.

Why does fashion go in cycles?
How does an eigtheenth century corset inspire Vivienne Westwood?
Why do we use feathers on lots of clothes and hats?
Revival at Lotherton Hall draws on fashions from the past and objects in the Hall to create new ideas and clothes. It's the ultimate in recyling!
In 2010, the focus of the annual project was on birds and the hats that can be made from their feathers. Students studied and drew the birds, looked at and handled historical costumes and created their own designs and clothes. The process was judged and the winning costume was on view to the public in the exhibition at Lotherton during 2010.

This is from the first shoot I have done with a model. I also designed and made the clothing he is wearing. It is part of a line of menswear that focuses on classic style, a well made product, and community interaction.
