Pigeons&PEACOCKS | Get some energy
I actually wanted to write this post putting together all different phrases from different songs to make a “word-moodboard” of myself. I needed some energy to face the new season coming, and I need also some to be able to make sense out of my plans, my projects, the butterflies in my head.
So I had a look to Pigeons&PEACOCKS, the London College of Fashion magazine made in collaboration with students staff and graduates. I was inspired by the personality of the editorials Babes of Benin (by Saga Sig_styling John William) and Canguro Barbie (by Alena Jascanka_styling John William).
None of the models and neither the photographer and styilist are from Benin; they actually are from Icland and Britain. So they ask themselves if they have the cultural right or knowledge to create this story? Is it exploitation of stereotypes? iconographic work? “It is a cycle of pop regurgitating itself, reappropriating symbols and codes and inappropriately fetishing and remixing different cultures.”
Clothes and accessories are Sara Arnesen, Danielle Scutt, Ongun Ulker, Jennfer Morris, Asgel Juel Larsen, Pam Hogg @House of Liza; for Canguro Barbie Versace, Moschino, Issey Miyake, Ruth Jones; For the guys by Tiffany Amber Valetta W< @House of Liza, Cyberdog.
