FASHION AS A CIRCLE


    AS THE RESPONSE TO MACLUHAN’S QUOTATION THAT “MARCH BACK TO THE FUTURE”, THE IDEA THAT POPS UP IN MY MIND IS THE CIRCULATION, WHICH IS SOMETHING COMES UP AND DEAD THEN COMES UP AGAIN. THE MAIN POINT IN MY VIDEO IS ABOUT THE BELLBOTTOM WHICH WAS A VERY TRENDY APPAREL IN THE 20TH CENTURY AND THEN DISAPPEAR IN THE FASHION CIRCLE, BUT RECENTLY IT POPS UP INTO THE FASHION WORLD AGAIN! MY WHOLE VIDEO IS GOSE IN CHRONOLOGICAL ORDER AND THERE ARE SOME HITS IN IT. LET ME EXPLAIN!

 

RIVER: (BEGINNING &ENDING)

THE RIVER CENE IS LOCATED AT THE BEGINNING AND THE ENDING OF THE VIDEO. AS THE MAIN IDEA OF THAT VIDEO IS ABOUT THE CIRCULATION, RIVER WOULD BE A GREAT METAPHOR. WATES IN THE RIVER COME AND GO, THERE ARE ALWAYS FRESH RESOURCES THAT COME INTO THE RIVER AND FILL THE RIVER. THE INDICATION OF THE RIVE IS ABOUT THE OLD THINGS GOING AWAY AND COMING UP AGAIN. 

 

THE SUN ELEMENTS: (1ST SCENE, 2ND SCENE, 3RD SCENE, 4TH SCENE)

MY VIDEO MAINLY CONSISTS OF 4PARTS, I HAVE EACH PART BEGINS WITH A STATUS OF SUN: SUNRISE, SUN AT NOON, SUN IN THE AFTERNOON, AND THE SUN AT DUSK. I APPLY THE SUN AS A MEDIUM THAT INDICATES THE TIME GOES AND THING DEVELOPS AS THE CHRONOLOGICALLY. 

 

THE FIRST GROUP OF STUDENTS IN LAWRENCE: (1ST SCENE)

RESPONDING TO MY IDEA OF CIRCLE, I REGARD THE STUDENTS IN COLLEGE AS A CIRCLE: FRESHMEN COME INTO THE COLLEGE, AND THE SENIORS GRADUATE. THIS IS THE MOST COMMON THING WE EXPERIENCE IN OUR LIFE AS STUDENTS AND IT IS ALSO A GREAT INDICATION OF A CIRCLE. THE FIRST GROUP OF STUDENTS IN LAWRENCE IS A BEGINNING, AND I ALSO HAVE A SCENE OF MYSELF AS A ECHOING SCENE FOR THIS TO FINISH THE CIRCLE. 

 

BELLBOTTOM: (1st SCENE, 4TH SCENE)
THIS IS THE MAIN IDEA OF MY VIDEO, WHICH IS THE FIRST ELEMENT THAT POPS UP IN MY MIND. PEOPLE WERE SO CRAZY ABOUT IT IN THE 20TH CENTURY AND IT WAS A GREAT FASHION ITEM DURING THAT TIME. HOWEVER, SEVERAL YEARS LATER, THE TREND OF WEARING THE BELLBOTTOM WAS GONE AND IT IS RARE TO SEE PEOPLE WEARING THAT. BELLBOTTOM DISAPPEAR FROM THE FASHION WORLD FOR DECADES. NEVERTHELESS, UNTIL RECENTLY SOME MODELS WEARING THE BELLBOTTOM AGAIN IN THE FASHION SHOW BROUGHT A GREAT “REBORN” FOR BELLBOTTOM FASHION. AND FASHION DOGS SHOULD HAVE A BELLBOTTOM AS A SIGN OF THEIR TASTE IN FASHION RECENTLY. IN MY VIDEO, I GOT TWO SCENES OF BELLBOTTOM, ONE REPRESENTING THE OLD FASHION AND ANOTHER ONE IS REPRESNETING THE NOWADAYS’ FASHION. YOU CAN TELL WHICH IS THE OLD AND WHICH IS THE NEW ONE FROM THE OUTFIT OF MY MODEL. BELLBOTTOM’S BORN, DEATH, AND REBORN INDICATE THE IDEA OF A CIRCLE. 

 

CARS: (2ND SCENE, 3RD SCENE)

I HAVE A MODLE OF AN OLDSCHOOL CAR AND A MODLE OF A MODERN CAR IN MY VIDEO. IT IS AN INDICATION OF TIME GOES AND THINGS DEVELOP. 

 

 

SOUNDTRACK FOR MY VIDEO

I WAS ORIGINALLY INDENT TO APPLY FOUR SECTIONS OF SOUNDTRACKS FOR EACH SCENE. WHICH ARE SOME REPRESENTATIVE SONGS FOR EACH PERIOD. BUT SADLY, I COULD NOT SUCCESSFULLY UPLOAD IT TO THE VIDEO EDITOR. HOWEVER, I CHOOSE, THE SONG MADE BY MY FRIENDS’ BAND WHICH I FIT THE SONG AS TWO PARTS. THE FIRST ONE IS LIGHT AND QUIET, AND ANOTHER PART IS MORE ENERGETIC. THOSE TWO PARTS CREATE A GREAT CONTRAST TO REPRESENT THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE OLD-TIME AND THE MODERN THINGS.

PROJECT #3

  “BEETHOVEN’S DEAFNESS DESIGNATES THE LACK WHEREIN RESIDES ALL SIGNIFICATION; IT APPEALS TO A MUSIC THAT IS NOT ABSTRACT OR INWARD, BUT THAT IS ENDOWED, IF ONE MAY PUT IT LIKE THIS, WITH A TANGIBLE INTELLIGIBILITY, WITH THE INTELLIGIBL E AS TANGIBLE.” BARTHES (P. 152)   BEETHOVEN’S MUSIC IS OFTEN SEEN AS A REFLECTION OF HIS INNERMOST THOUGHTS AND FEELINGS. HIS DEAFNESS, HOWEVER, FORCED HIM TO RELY ON HIS OTHER SENSES, PARTICULARLY HIS SENSE OF TOUCH AND VIBRATION, TO CREATE HIS MUSIC. HE WOULD OFTEN PLACE HIS HANDS ON THE PIANO OR ON THE WALLS OF HIS ROOM TO FEEL THE VIBRATIONS OF THE SOUND HE WAS CREATING. THIS ALLOWED HIM TO CREATE MUSIC THAT WAS NOT JUST AUDITORY, BUT THAT WAS ALSO TACTILE AND PHYSICAL.    AS FOR MY PROJECT, I SHARED MY PERSPECTIVE TO ENJOY THE BEAUTY IN OUR LIFE. IT COULD BE USED AS A TOOL HELP AUDIENCE FIND THE BEAUTY IN THEIR LIFE. BASED ON MY UNDERSTANDING, THE ESSENCE OF LIVING IS TRYING TO ENJOY THE PROCESS OF IT, PEOPLE, MAYBE, CAN GET MORE PLEASURE FROM LIV

RICK OWENS

RICK OWENS IS AN AMERICAN-BORN DESIGNER LIVING IN PARIS, KNOWN FOR HIS ABSTRACT, YET APPROACHABLE AVANT-GARDE DESIGNS. BORN RICHARD SATURNINO OWENS, HE BEGAN HIS LABEL IN CALIFORNIA IN 1994 AND NOW OVERSEES A VERITABLE FASHION EMPIRE FROM A FIVE-STORY COMPOUND IN PARIS. IF THERE'S ONE CHARACTERISTIC THAT HAS DEFINED HIS LIFE, IT HAS BEEN OWENS' FIERCE INDEPENDENCE. HIS ECCENTRIC BRUTALIST APPROACH IS EVIDENT IN HIS FASHION, HIS FURNITURE, AND EVEN HIS PERSONAL LIFE.                                          RICK'S REPRESENTATIVE ABSTRACT FASHION DESIGN: THE FIRST GENERATION GEOBASKET INITIALLY INTRODUCED IN FALL/WINTER 2006'S "DUSTULATOR" COLLECTION, RICK OWENS DESIGNED THE GEOBASKET BECAUSE HE FELT THAT ATHLETIC SHOES WERE SIMPLY TOO "PROSAIC." PULLING ELEMENTS FROM NIKE, ADIDAS AND PUMA, OWENS WAS ATTEMPTING TO—IN HIS WORDS—CREATE MONSTER TRUCKS FOR HIS FEET. THE RESULT WAS SOMEWHERE BETWEEN MOON BOOT AND HIGH-TOP, FEATURING AN ULTRA-EXTENDED TONG

PROJECT #2

  THE ROLE OF AUTHORSHIP IS THAT PEOPLE COULD TELL “HELL YEAH THAT’S BOWEN’S WORK!” BECAUSE THERE IS MY SOUL, MY STYLE, AND EVEN MY EXPERIENCE IN MY WORK. MY WORK EQUALS TO MY NAME IN SOME ASPECTS. OF COURSE, I CONSIDER MY WORK ORIGINAL, BECAUSE I EXERCISE MY AESTHETIC BY READING A HUGE VARIETY OF WORKS, WHICH ARE IN VERY DIFFERENT KINDS OF STYLES. THEN I  COME UP WITH MY OWN STUFF. WHEN THE AUDIENCE LOOK AT MY WORK, THEY COULD ONLY TELL OH THAT ARTWORK LOOKED A LITTLE BIT LIKE BLABLABLA’S WORK, BUT ALSO A LITTLE BIT LIKE DLADLADLA’S WORK. BUT FUCK NO, IT IS JUST L I K E, THAT STYLE IS BOWEN’S STYLE MY ORIGINAL SHIT.      EVERYONE WHO STARES AT MY WORK FOR MORE THAN 3 MINUTES COULD “TAKE POSSESSION” OF MY WORK AND DERIVE THEIR OWN MEANING FROM IT. I THINK WHEN THE AUDIENCE GET THE BEAUTY OF MY STUFF, AT THAT MOMENT, THEY TAKE POSSESSION OF IT. AND THEY COULD ALSO DERIVE THEIR OWN MEANING FROM IT BECAUSE PEOPLE FROM DIFFERENT EXPERIENCES OF LIFE COULD DEFINITELY DERI VE DIFFERENT MEANIN
