FASHION SCIENCE is a personal expression of a reflection to the apparatus. Even if you are not aware fashion controls and absorbs you. MIX, REMIX, RECYCLE AND REPLAY, OVER AND OVER. Throughout history, we have used fashion to differentiate ourselves: stating our UNIQUENESS, SOCIAL CLASS, GENDER AND EVEN OUR AGE GROUP. Now in a GLOBAL WORLD fashion RESOURCES in addition to all other RESOURCES are at their PEEK. Having exhausted almost all resources, it is time to PRESS THE REFRESH BUTTON.
REMIX YOUR STYLE. Like DJing, fashion uses an endless re-contextualized core compositional strategy when composing a NEW MATERIAL. FASHION AND SOUND absorb randomly but with a structure within the RANDOMNESS. The re- contextualization and abstraction of resources from the apparatus of fashion and sound have created new material to yet be remixed once again at some point. Thus remixing is EVOLVING THE CURRENT APPARATUS. The abstractions and evolutions that take place because of the individual who is remixing the existing material. Remixing is responding to the past present and FUTURE.
REACTING, REAPPLYING, DERIVING, APPROPRIATING material from the PAST AND PRESENT create the FUTURE. The future is NOW. Fashion constantly pushes forward. When a DJ picks out a record to mix they are using malleable material that is available to make something of their own, something new. This SAME theory of remixing FREE OPEN SOURCE MATERIAL can be applied to personal fashion.
WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU ARE DOING WHEN YOU PICK OUT A SHIRT OR PAIR OF PANTS? or matching shoes?
FASHEEJing? Yeah.
Steer away from mainstream capitalistic inclinations of fashion culture! CUT UP YOUR CREDIT CARDS AND FASHION MAGAZINES. Make your own fashion. CONSUME YOURSELF! Make fashion your own!
Instead of turning our heads completely let us EMBRACE AND REACT! Let us make our own TRENDS AND FOLLOW NO ONE! Underground trends are picked up by MAINSTREAM MARKETS and sold back to us. Do not buy them back! Give them something to REGURGITATE back to us. Make them work harder and pay close attention. Let US CHANGE FASHION so quickly the MERCHANTS OF COOL will not be able to keep up. DO NOT BUY NEW! MAKE NEW! SWAP! EXCHANGE! MEND HOLES, ALTER GARMENTS, MAKE YOUR OLD NEW, MIX IT UP, SWITCH IT UP! YOU ARE THE ART. WALKING TALKING, BREATHING ART! MAKE A STATEMENT, DO NOT INTERPLAY WITH MAINSTREAM FASHION ANYMORE. WAKE UP! PUSH AND QUESTION THE STATUS QUO! REACT, REUSE, REFRESH, REPLAY and REDRESS!
