Brief: So many people are okay with existing with no notion of the past they manifest. As a major consumer and follower of fashion, it’s always been interesting to see the birth and evolution of this circuit of culture. I am seeking to understand how a fashion brand’s culture manages to become a staple in homes. I want to understand how a brand’s “status” reflects and exudes to the fans and people who consume them.
Setting: I don’t have a set location yet but I would be interested in street interviews, top locations: The Met, Various NYFW show venues (specifically high fashion vs. streetwear)
Questions:
What drew you towards this exhibition?
How does one’s favorite brand’s “social status,” affect how one may carry themselves and communicate with the world?
Does “high fashion,” brands mean that consumers of high tax brackets are consuming them or is it a matter of fitting the role you aspire to be? (Vice versa for consumers of streetwear)
