The eye has become an unreliable narrator in a predominantly “visual” industry this year and things are literally not what they seem to be.
Part of this impulse to downplay or sabotage traditional expressions of luxury is likely related to the downward spiraling of the economy. It’s neither considerate of others nor street-smart to flaunt one’s riches in recessionary times. Enter a nouveau pauvre aesthetic. Then there’s the fact that fashion has truly entered a meta-phase.
We know that around the time that Jacobs designed that silk “flannel” he had been going to see grunge bands play, so the reference was pretty direct; a sort of one-to-one ratio. Industry folks and scenesters alike were riled.
And herein lies another adjustment in fashion: Looking back we can see that narrative has shifted from advertisements , to storytelling show concepts . Now it seems narrative is starting to be embedded or built into luxury objects themselves. It’s uncanny how exhibitions, planned years in advance, seem to land when we most need them. It seems to me that there are parallels to be drawn betweenat the Met, and what is happening in fashion—starting with a change in perspectives. “Cubism’s visual innovations did much more than just reflect a new world.
