FASHIONMETAPHOR

“You’re interested in ashion?” he rhetorical question ispronounced in a high-pitched tone that makes it sound moreike “aSHION?” as judgmental eyes run themselves over my

clothing as they secretly assess the value (none, obviously) o indulging mysel in such a supericial pastime.

When we think o ashion, we think o a rivolous, lucrative

industry that prides itsel in the gloriication o the exterior.We think o glossy Marie Claire explorations into the mean-ing o the new trend o three earing holes as opposed to two;we think o the Victoria Secret spectacles o bikini-wearingmodels, we think o the circus o Fashion Week street stylewhere ordinary people transorm into gigantic-hat-wearing,towering-high-heel-sporting Martians or the sake o ‘style’.

But to distill ashion to ‘models’ or ‘trends’ or even ‘style’would be on par with reducing an entire personality to oneadjective. It would be cal ling Jay Gatsby ‘nice’, or Mr.Darcy

mean’. It is simpliying the multidimensional character o ashion, and the adjective this simpliication commonly eads to is ‘shallow’.

Is ashion shallow? Yes. But, is ashion deep? Yes. In thepostmodernist world, those two aren’t mutually exclusive. Inthe words o Karl Lagereld, “Fashion is a language that cre-ates itsel in clothes to interpret reality.” Beyond the açadeo ashion as the sel-serving indulgence it seems to be, ash-ion is our most important medium o expression. And ev-erything is an expression o ashion: whether an acceptanceo ashion or a rejection o it, its deterministic quality issimply unavoidable as long as we continue to wear clothing(and even i we don’t: I’m sure many would agree that publicnudity deinitely makes an unorgettable statement). Acrossthe civilizations and eras o intellectual thinking, there hasnever been a more widely understood, commonly acceptedanguage than that o ashion: the signiier o class hierarchy,

the grammar o intention, the vocabulary o society and themetaphor or lie.

And yet, theconcept o ashion as a metaphor coners itsome level o intellectualism that people seeunwilling to acknowledge. he high-pitchedincredulity o “you spend your spare timethinking about ashion?” never ails to amazme, considering art never aces the same cesure when both are metaphors and interpretions o lie and in act, ashion – being themore accessible o the two – may have greatrelevance.

Society’s denial o ashion’s intellectual sidemay be a metaphor in itsel: a metaphor orsexism.

The white shirt was odd because he managed a used auto parts warehouse in the small town of Cuba, Alabama. He had a big personality and always made people laugh. His smile was not taken for weakness because he could be more than stern whenthe situation called for it. I was a young boy when my father passed, but I will never forget the lessons that I learned fromhim. A lesson in particular was one that he taught me during thsummer of 1988, the year before he passed.

School was out and my dad decided that he would take me to work withim. I was excited about the opportunity. Besides, I was 12 years old anthe small town didn’t offer much better to do that summer. While at th

warehouse, my dad would give me various assignments that I would complete each day. Afterwards, we’d go out for dinner and/or ice cream at thLucille’s Deli nearby. I would always get the cherry ice cream, which haa wonderful taste that I distinctively remember. Sometimes my friend, Aquilla, whose father had passed many years earlier, would come along with ufor the day.

One day, my dad took us both to the shop and gave us an assignment. Hsaid, “I want you boys to take this pile of parts, soak them in this buckeof oil, then place them in a barrel when complete. They need to be soakethoroughly so that they don’t rust. Do you understand?” he said. We replied

“Yes Sir!” He told us that he had a few errands to run, but he’d be back in

few hours to check on progress. He left shortly after and we went to work

A little while into the project, Aquilla and I had a splendid idea on how we could save some time. After all , we were young, it was Saturday and wknew that WWF Wrestling would come on at 5:00 pm. “Why don’t we juput the parts in the barrel and pour the oil over them. We’ll be done mucfaster and we can go home.” So we thought. We proceeded with our plaand made great progress. By the time my dad came back, the task was complete. When we informed him of the news, he could hardly believe it. “Reall

Wow!” he exclaimed.



He came over to see the work that we had done. He be-gan looking in the barrels to examine the parts. By thelook on his face, I could tell that he was less than pleased.He looked at us and said, “Did you do this the way that I told you?” He fixed his eyes on me with a stare that Icould feel pierce through my soul. By this I knew that it was a rhetorical question and that lying would be a really bad decision. I said, “No Sir!” I explained to him what we thought.

Much to my surprise, he didn’t seem very upset at all. Hereiterated to us why he gave us specific instructions onwhat he wanted us to do. When he was done explaining,we said that we were sorry. He said, “That’s okay. Now you can start over and do it the way that I told you.” He

continued, “The best way to save time is to do it right thefirst time.”

Needless to say, we missed wrestling thaday, but we learned a valuable lesson

And yes, we did still get to stop by Lucille’s Deli on the way home. I will neve

forget that summer or the lessons that learned from my father. He was a goodman. Someday when my spirit passes intthe world of the unknown, I can only hopthat my child will remember me as favorably as I remember him.

Happy Father’s Day!

“he best way to

save timeis do it right the

first time ”

who

wearsthis

stuff?FASHION 101

Every year in February and September, ashion lov-ers rom all over the world descend on New York or

Fashion Week. What began in 1943 as an attemptto entice publishers to showcase American design-ers has blossomed into a phenomenon that peoplewait all year or. However, whenever Fashion Week rolls around, there are always people who look at therunways and marvel, “Who actually wears this stu?”Answering this question is a little more complicatedthan, “people.”

While society’s elite have always been more elaborate-ly adorned than us Groundlings, the ashion businessas we know it began in the 1800s. Designers begancreating garments rom their own designs rather thanmaking pieces speciically designed by clients. In thebeginning, most high ashion came rom Paris (duh),and ashion journalists locked to the city to check out the next best thing.

Back in those days, designers usually presented a col-lection o “made to measure” designs and “made towear” designs. he ormer were sold to the public as

patterns that could be tailored to the wearer’s speci-ications. he latter were mass marketed and sold in

stores, so i the wearer wanted the garment to it diently, they had to alter it themselves. Back beore m

transit and mass retail, many people made their clooday, the two most prevalent terms that are throwaround in the biz are “haute couture” (literally, higsewing) and “prêt á porter” (ready-to-wear).

What we see parading down runways and red carpusually alls into the “haute couture” category. Haucouture doesn’t necessarily mean that the designs aoddly shaped or highly conceptual. It means that thclothing is handmade rather than being mass produHaute couture pieces are well tailored with intricatdetail. hey are generally commissioned by speciiclients, or made as part o a special collection. Mantimes, these pieces aren’t or sale, and i they are, thare very costly. hese pieces take a lot o time and ort to construct. hey aren’t really easy to reproduI you’ve ever met anyone who’s had a wedding gowcustom-made, you understand how timely and detoriented this process is.

he collections that walk the runways at Fashion W

are ull o clothing that is hand made. When you sea Stella McCartney show in which many o the piec



eature sheer accents that aren’t particularly latteringon many body types, keep in mind that this collectiontook months o hard work to design and construct.hey didn’t just roll it out on an assembly line.

“Prêt á porter” ashion is the stu that makes it intoretail stores and into your closet. Runway shows are away or ashion editors, journalists and celebrity trend-

setters to determine themes or to pick out stand-outcollections. I a large percentage o collections eaturea certain color palette or other uniying details, it willbe tagged as a “trend” or the upcoming season. hisis the ace o the industry. However, aterwards, buyersget to look through designers’ accompanying ready-to-wear collections. hese designs need to be reproduc-ible or the mass market.

Watching ‘Project Runway’ during the ready-to-wearchallenge is a good way to demonstrate this part o the

process. On that show, designers are tasked with creat-ing garments that can be manuactured or a certainamount o money. While many o these designs are in-spired by the actual runway collections, many o themeature modiications or better wearability and easierreproduction. Ready-to-Wear collections rom top-name designers such as Chanel, Jason Wu, AlexanderMcQueen, Gucci, etc. end up in higher end retail storeslike Niemann Marcus, Bloomingdale’s and Bergdor Goodman.

Once trends have been set, they tend to trickle down.his can be demonstrated by looking at the recentsky-high stiletto trend that swept the ashion world.Covered platorm pumps are nothing new, but around2008ish, they began showing up in collections by YSLand Louboutin, among others. Celebrities such as Kris-tin Cavallari and the Kardashian clan started wearingthese 5-6” heels all over the place. About a year later,covered sky-high stilettos were being made by more a-ordable brands like Steve Madden and Aldo, and thus

were made more accessible to the common consumer.

Fast ashion retailers take trends rom higher endstores and use them to inluence designs that are soldin their stores. hese clothes are usually made withsynthetic abrics and other less costly materials, sothey are more aordable to shoppers on a budget.Within the past ive years, many high end designershave designed special collections or retailers such

as H&M and arget, bringing a touch o couture tpeople who may not normally wear it.Another aspect o ashion that trips people up is“avant garde” (literally “oreront”). hese are thewacky, crazy, anything-but-wearable pieces thatadorn the likes o Lady Gaga, Madonna and otherextreme risk takers. Avant garde ashion is highlyconceptual, and its intent is more about artistry. D

signers such as Jean Paul Gaultier, John Galliano aAlexander McQueen are known or creating artistcollections that dey the traditions o clothing.

Everyone has their own preerred aesthetic and aite designers. Some people are drawn to more clasand timeless designers, while others like bold, briand daring clothes that stand out. For every desigthere is a consumer out there who appreciates thework. Next time Fashion Week hits the V, try looing at the outits keeping in mind all o the work a

styling that went into it. Don’t worry so much abowho’s going to wear it.

My name is Cheera Choo. I’m originally from Bangkok Thai-land. I am a mixture of three different heritages: Thai, Chinese

and Indian. I started pursuing modeling in Thailand but havebeen modeling in New York City for the past two years.



Cheera Choo

I believe modeling is not just the external “glamorous” lifestyle as seen by others.

Modeling is a combination of both art and performance.

As a model, I need to know how to be in the character

the shoot demands for as well as display the

designers’ product as elegantly as possible.

Ch



eera ChooI feel models should keep an open mind and a desire

to learn from every job they experience. During my 4 years of theater and latin dance training, I have real-ized they have both provided me with a better under-

standing of how to work with my surroundings andutilize my body movements to convey emotion.

Most people don’t realizethat modeling is not easy.

It’s a 24/7 job that demands a lot of sacrifice.

As a model, we are constantly working with inspirational

people, so for each designer, weare expected, and required,

to showcase their designs with perfection.

awareness campaigns and providing comprehensive

marine protection.

Afr ican elephants are currently found in 37 countries

in sub-Saharan Africa and their numbers fell from 1.3

million in 1979 to less than 600,000 today, as a re-

sult of the ivory trade. With 35,000 elephants killed

per year, WildAid are working to educate consumersand reduce the demand for ivory products worldwide

via their public service announcements and short form

documentary pieces.

WildAid is the only organization focused on reducingthe demand for such wildlife products, with the strong

and simple message: when the buying stops, the killing

can too.

No elephants were harmed during the making of thiscampaign.
