Chapter 3: Ready To Wear
Project :Yomango
Founded 2003 (Barcelona, Spain)
“Like all other major brand names, is not so much about selling as about promoting a lifestyle”.
“ YOMANGO likes to think of this work as “clothing for civil disobedience”.
My understanding of these two quotes is that the Yomango bag is known in spanish slang as a “I Steal” meaning the Yomango bag is not a major big brand name bag but it is a bag that is used daily. Yomango bag is designed as the ultimate shoplifting utensil. People in this day in age walk around with big bags the size of the Yomango and do not get accused of shoplifting and show it off as fashion, but then you have the people who make it worse and have big bags just so they can shoplift.
Chapter 4: The Experimental University
Project: That World Which Means Smuggling Across Borders Incorporated
J. Morgan Puett (Beach Lake, PA USA)
“Working with local weavers, seamstresses, and dyers, Puett turned an abandoned building in Charleston into an operating contemporary clothing factory”.
“As ready-to-wear collages, the clothes provided an unexpected insight into the histories of racism, class, labor, and migration that surround the site”.
In this project I feel that Puett had discovered a place that was abandoned and turned it into something. As Puett got more into her work she was able to make things that we kind of do not take out the time to notice what inspired them to create such powerful items.
