Stagnant and Docile FASHION IS FAKE

PRESS RELEASE 

SAMIA MALIK ihtgw 

May 2012

Collection name: Stagnant and Docile

FASHION IS FAKE 

In times when there's unlimited amounts of material available to buy, choices are continuously on the rise. Leaves consumers confused, number of unnecessary items available, is without a doubt detrimental to human condition;  mass contribution to the developed worlds depression. These are a few banal points that come along with consumption culture. It is essential to observe, other futile conditions consumption culture has created: stagnant and docile  environment - no movement, people are frozen in a frenzy about what they can consume next. 

FASHION IS FAKE: recent ihtgw project, consists of political street art. Questioning and reminding that fashion industry is not what it looks. Full of extreme lies, thoughtless  contradictions and hypocrisy. Seeing an image of a model wearing garments with design details, made out of amazing fabrics. But what this image does not include:  person who made the fabric, was very likely a child being paid slave wages in Uzbekistan. Garment was sewn by a women, possibly in India or China who works 7 days a week, and earns possibly 20p an hour.

FALSE FASHION

I suppose you can say; I don't have much agreement with mediocre ways of fashion: if fashion is what it is popular, or what is popular is fashion. At the same time I am not suggesting that people: chop their grannies curtains to wear, to gurgitate fashion individuality. Stating that:'FASHION IS FLASE', I am simply implying that general essence, and message of fashion is false/ fake. These days and in the 14th century, fashion was a reflection of changes in time, and an elitist status symbol. In the 15th century adorning and hairstyles 'became complex'. I imagine in 2012 the average person who thinks they're trend conscious, want to see themselves as advanced modern human beings. Different and more civilized than their ancestors in the 15th century.

But what is the real difference, fashion is still language of the extremist narcissist, without a doubt to certain degree a massive symbol of elitism, just as it was in the 14th century. So friends my question is: WHAT IS THE FUSS ABOUT? I predict the future generations, who hopefully will be more civilized than us. Those generation will look down on us, 'civilized modern people' in 2012, and think that we were just as ignorant or more ignorant than our ancestors. Not only were we extreme narcissist, but also made up celebrity magazines. Polluted our landscapes with huge billboards, with images of celebrities who in reality were not smart at all, and we also thoughtlessly copied what they wore. Brought our garments from businesses who had no morals to the nth degree. For example luxury brands such as: Mulberry/ Louis Vuitton/ Marc Jacobs who get their products manufactured in eastern countries for a few pennies and sell them for hundreds of pounds.

FASHION IS FALSE! NO LIES!
