The 100% white casting with the blatent references to traditional tribal clothing and accessories seems to ask questions about appropriation and post-colonialism in fashion. Junya's designs seem to deliberately go past "flintstone" and into mockery.
I've given this show a lot of thought and I can't really make up my mind on it. He seems to be doing all this on purpose to make us all rethink the cultural significance of the clothes we wear--and whether we should wear them at all--but then he benefits from that concept by selling clothes. Money makes art really complicated :/
I'd love to hear more thoughts on this collection and the topic of race relations/appropriation in general.Statistics: Posted by PrimePrime — Sun Mar 06, 2016 3:29 pm
