(Un)Fashion - Book Review

(Un)Fashion – A statement of multiculturalism

A stand for equality screaming from every single corner in the world. A place where humanity gathers, regardless of attire to state

indifference for material divisions.

Where the new black becomes the new yellow, the new brown, and even the new white.

A place where time seems to disappear through the crease of the book. The stiffness of the images leaves no room for time, just space placed in front of us.

Fashion in the form of colors, food, and even cactuses display th

eir uniqueness all over the global catwalk, followed by pieces inspired in women, in armies, in sand from the most remote beach in Oceania; the models carrying a shade of cum cum and color dry coconut powder as an outfit, facial tattoos as makeup and pieces of Amazonian Oak Tree as bobby pins. With bee wax as underwear, flower pigments as moisturizer and a cap opener as pendant.

Some of the ornaments distinguish them from marital status, some from religion and even national identity; some segregate them as tribe members. I still don’t quite understand the point behind all those necklaces, how the fuck!? Do you slee

p with them? Doesn’t that hurt? What about showering with them? If you take them off how far

forward does your head go?

The watch of Sadam Hussein with Arabic numbers, ironically containing a label that says made in Japan, lol.
