sustainible, fashionible and recycled
Vivienne Westwood, a leading icon in the fashion industry has spoken out about the impending
recession and credit crunch and insists she isn't fazed about it.
She said: "Times may always be hard but British fashion has always been eclectic, it's all about not
looking like anybody else. There is a status in wearing your old favourites over and over until they
grow old. It's all about looking glam, not buying cheap rubbish." (Talks Fashion Credit Crunch,
20th Nov 09:24, The Guardian.)
A good idea is to be more creative and not afraid of wearing an item made for another occasion.
"Women should try on their husband's jackets and even boxer shorts for size as outerwear."
(Vivienne Westwood, The Daily, Nov, 2009). It always feels nice wearing clothing that no one else
has, especially in fashion in this very tough and complicated economical time. "Wearing political
badges is also a great look and kerchiefs worn as knickers can be fun for the disco or the beach. You
can also tie tablecloths or even blankets around yourself to look good."(Vivienne Westwood, The
Daily, Nov, 2009).

A four day celebration of alternative fashion and support for new talent, the Alternative Fashion Week 2009 in London's Spitalfields Market promises an exciting experience. The event is a counterbalance to the London Fashion Week, a highly popular, media-friendly London fashion celebration. Young artists and new ideas are the hallmarks of the Alternative Fashion Week 09 in London.

It was chilli and very breezy, but all exitment and preparation took over. It took us six weeks, of our hard work and long working hours just to create and design out fashion out fits, and it took another half a day just to get ready for a show.
The show was good and all of our designs looked fabulous.

I BEEN INSPIRED AND IMPREST!!
Annette Messager (born in 1943, lives and works in Paris) is widely regarded as one of Europe’s most important contemporary artists. The retrospective Annette Messager: The Messengers, presents an overview of the artist’s career and reveals her use of an astonishing and affecting repertoire of forms and materials (among them soft toys, stuffed animals, fabrics, wool, photographs and drawings). Mixing aesthetic registers and playing with remarkable virtuosity on our senses and feelings, this exhibition presents a panoramic survey from the intimate and conceptually driven pieces Messager made in the early 1970s to the very large sculptural installations of the past 15 years, in which movement plays an increasingly important role.

Nicholas Hlobo


















....stitching and weaving disparate materials such as ribbon, rubber, gauze and leather to create seductively tactile sculptures and drawings. His works are richly layered, anchored in references to Xhosa culture and the experience of life in post-Apartheid South Africa, while reflecting upon themes of language and communication, gender and sexuality, race and ethnicity. his using techniques such as stitching and weaving, which are traditionally undertaken by women in South Africa. His choice of materials is similarly charged with meaning. The old and punctured inner tubes of car tyres that he gathers from repair shops in Johannesburg are a symbol of industrialisation and the urban experience. For Hlobo, the rubber has particular significance as an emblem of masculinity, not simply because car ownership in South Africa is a masculine status symbol, but also because the inner tubes resemble condoms. Sexual themes are often implicit in his works through his use of phallus and sperm shapes, and forms resembling orifices, umbilical cords and internal organs. The satin ribbon that he uses to make his marks on paper, and which literally connects the disparate elements of his sculptures, suggests femininity, domesticity and unification, in contrast to the more ‘masculine’ materials that it binds together. The ribbon, and the way it is used, challenges gender-based assumptions about divisions of labour and introduces a more ambiguous approach to sexuality.(tate modern)
.. .my personal opinion, work translates alot about south africa, and the situasion of all country!, i heard a lot about country from personal friends, saying its beautifull country, its just threre is a big differentces betwen black and white, in all different aspects: ritch pour, coulour races black and white.
thow i realy liked his work as textile paeces, and art, it gave me clear point of view he is looking at!!!
