What is this? Inspiration to ‘display’ my project?
BARACK THE RUNWAY
When it was reported that Donatella Versace’s most recent men’s collection was inspired by Barack Obama, Donatella was quick to correct the press. Obama himself didn’t inspire her, but rather “the type of man Barack Obama represents.” However designers showing at Paris Fashion Week conveyed no such reserves about using their runway shows to blatantly support Barack. Sonia Rykiel’s spring 2009 collection included sweaters that read “I have a dream” and “Obama.” Jean-Charles de Castelbajac put Barack’s grinning face on a dress paired with gloves that read “yes” and “no” — probably his way of saying “rock the vote.” And at the end of her program notes, Stella McCartney wrote, “P.S. Vote Obama!!”
How fashion, culture and politics intermingle. Maybe - for my project - the type of person xx (character which designs are based on) would be a good idea.
