Spiritual Style > Wearing the Soul

2011-05-06T12:12:00.021-03:00

In this post i write about this kind of fashion or anti-fashion or non-fashion or simple-fashion,way of wear, life style…
I choose to study the major spiritual movements or faith groups in the world and that I have some contact here in São Paulo, so it is:
Rastafari, Hare Krishna, Islam

Rastafari

Well, this one i have intimacy, i wrote a monography about and i already passed through rituals and studies.
The Idea is that you does not exist only I . You are I and I am You and We are I and I, including god is in I. This is a strong concept of unity.
They follow the Nazireu Vow, described in Torah at Numbers 6: 12-21.
This vow requires that the Nazirite abstain from:
-Cut the hair or even use comb;
-Alcohol, wine or any grape derivates;
-Corpses and Graves. including to eat animal meat
For the most of them who follows the E.A.B.I.C (Constitution)
“they must dress in a dignified manner when attending Church services and the brethren are to be attired in a robe and turban and the sisters are to cover their heads with a fall and wear robes that cover their ankles”

Prophet Marcus Garvey, Priest Emmanuel Charles and King Haile Selassie I: Foundation

The roots of movement is a prophecy of marcus garvey predicting the raise of a Christian Black King in Africa to redemp the black people who was spread in diaspora, (actually all humanity comes from one African Couple) This king is Haile Selassie, in fact a preacher and convinced Christian. Untill before he become King of Ethiopia his name is Tafari Makonem with the noble title of Ras. Emannuel starts to gather the people under the prophecy of Marcus in 50’s.

As a leader, these men inspires every rasta to be like them, not only the EABIC (Ethiopia Africa Black International Congress) followers, So the formal,politician - militar – simple are three tags that best describes the style
Bob Marley is a good example even nowadays, Lutan Fyah and Sizlla are strong popular.

Men
-Dreads
-Red, Gold and Green (blood, treasures, forest from Ethiopia flag)
-Turbans;
-Shirts with all closed buttons;
-Social pants;
-Buttons with Rastafarian themes and leaders;

Women

-Hair Scarves
-White color
-Cotton
-Long skirt
-No make up
Queen Ifrica

Islam

I read a lot to write here, this kind of living seems to be near from the followers of Christ and Krishna.
Let`s start reading expressive verses from Quran, the religious text of Islam:

“O Prophet! Tell your wives and your daughters, and the believing women, to draw their cloaks (veils) over their bodies. That will be better that they should be known (as respectable woman) so as not to be annoyed. And Allah is Ever Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful."God is forgiving and kind.” Quran 33:59

"Say to the believing man that they should lower their gaze and guard their modesty; that will make for greater purity for them; and Allah is well acquainted with all that they do. And say to the believing women that they should lower their gaze and guard their modesty; and that they should not display their beauty and ornaments except what must ordinarily appear thereof; that they should draw their veils over their bosoms and not display their beauty except to their husbands, tathers, husbands' fathers, sons, or their sisters' sons, or their women or the slaves whom their right hand possess or male servants free of physical needs, or small children who have no sence of the shame of sex; and that they should not strike their feet in order to draw attention to their hidden ornaments. And O ye Believers! Turn ye all together towards Allah (S.W.T) that ye may attain Bliss” (Surah 24:31)

All i can say is that Modesty is the most important piece to wear and for every muslim this piece is represented by Hijab.

“Hijab refers to the complete covering of everything except the hands, face and feet in long, loose and non see-through garments. A woman who wears hijab is called Muhaajaba”(BBC-Religions)

There is many types of Hijab, depends on region and school and the most controversial or radical for sure is Niqab common in Affghanistan; But let’s focus on Liberal and Progressive Muslims Style, people who is promoting a dialogue between others faith bringing Islam to the center of attention with The concept of Halal (meaning permissible in Arabic ) that has traditionally been applied to food, now other goods and services can also be certified as halal, including clothing, pharmaceuticals and financial services.

“Islam has two fundamental principles, Jihad and Ijtehad. In strict Quranic terminology, Jihad means physical struggle or endeavor against suppression and aggression. It is a defensive war. It is not aggression. Ijtehad means intellectual endeavor to seek the solutions of day to day matters” with an emphasis on use of reason and intellect, They believe in interpreting the sources of religion on a metaphoric basis and not literal.

The Islamic Fashion Festival from Kuala Lumpur shows stylish Hijabs for the modern Society, heating the segment.

This video shows some famous Muslim hip-hop artists

An artist is calling atention to discurse with a peculiar way. Princess Hijab is painting with a black pen, hijabs in Ads in the subway of Paris inspiring other artists for a movement or technic called Hijabism. A marginal celebrity, her last acts is on the doc www.streetart-film.de

Hare Krishna

Here i speak about the personality of God, all atractive in Sansckrit, Krishna and his followers.

The basis of this movement remains to the Vedas, ancient texts wrote by vedic civilization in 1200–272 BC the period called Vedic dated in iron age in the Indian Subcontinent.

This is the foundation for Hindu pantheon, formed by the trinity Shiva, Brahma e Vishnu and for the followers of the last one, Vaishnavas, Shiva and Brahma are devoted of Vishnu.Buddhism, Jainism are also hinduism (religions from India) but non-vedic.(texts)

Krishna is one Avatar of Vishnu, is cited in Mahabharata, more specificly in Bhagavad Gita
The devotee lead his life taking into account four principles:

1 - Compassion and nonviolence.(Do not eat meat, fish or derived from those products);
2 - Cleansing and Purity; (Avoid the practice of illicit sexual, promote sexual pleasure);
3 - Austerity and intellectual autonomy. (Avoid the use of drugs, modify the ENC, or state of normal other);
4 - Truthfulness and honesty. (Avoid gambling or farming activities)

One of the pratices that makes the movement to get more followers is Yoga, the major, Bhakti Yoga, is the individual and devocionoal service described in Bhagavata Purana , that teaches nine primary forms of bhakti or devocional service:
(1) śravaṇa ("listening" to the scriptural stories of Kṛṣṇa and his companions), (2) kīrtana ("praising," usually refers to ecstatic group singing), (3) smaraṇa ("remembering" or fixing the mind on Viṣṇu), (4) pāda-sevana (rendering service), (5) arcana (worshiping an image), (6) vandana(paying homage), (7) dāsya (servitude), (8) sākhya (friendship), and (9) ātma-nivedana(complete surrender of the self). (from Bhagata Purana, 7.5.23-24)

Wear

Men

Dhoti;
Kurtta;

Orange for celibate, White for the married;
All these made with natural fibers;

Women

Saree;

Preferably braided hair and covered by own saree;
Ghaghra;

Churi/jewels.

Conclusion

To list what i found in common in between these movements
-Modesty;
-Simplicity;
-Nature;
For me the original intention is promote the invisible qualities, to enhance them and so to link with God, that seems to be the encounter of all Good things and concepts of Life and for a better living.
Not considering the failures and the systems.

Fashion/Style Communities > A revolution in wear .

2010-09-07T17:00:00.002-03:00

After being inspired by Street Style Blogs, and making that such production, what about receive feedback on your costumes and assembly of people who looks like you have styles similar to yours?

The Fashion / Style Communities has revolutionized the way people dress and be inspired and with this, the design, production and marketing for fashion.

The design is affected in various ways, increasing the client throbs in the creation of models, often in a direct way as in site Threadless or RYZ.

The production of fashion changes with the growth of communities that oversees labor laws such as the network "Labour Behind the Label" and one of his members "Fashioning an Ethical Industries" (FEI) that promote practices for the improvement of labor conditions around the world with diverse actions in the real plane that integrate brands, companies , designers and students.

There is also the growth of communities that sell handdawscraft production, manufacture of independent designers and pieces of second-hand stores such as second hands blogs (brechós), etsy, ebay , Clothes Agency and even Craiglist

The sale goes on the momentum of continuous growth of e-commerce, today in the pack of shopping clubs or Groups Buying.

Some communities add several of these new changes into one, like SenseofFashion, StyleCaster, which beyond allow members to exchange opinions about looks posted, yet allow them to market their creations, indicates brands and products based on weather, climate, locations and other data profile of each user and still send this and other information to the cell phone of a member of the community.

Now to get inspired and get feedback on your style, i list the communities where basically you upload a photo and expect to receive comments.For me the most Twitted and commented on the web.

Polyvore

Here users can create their own looks with the pieces that are placed on site by our partners or are captured by the users of the Internet and can share opinions, create contacts and exercise their creativity. All pictures of items and looks user-created can be shared, allowing full interaction

Lookbook.nu

It's pretty teenager but the crowd of twenty and few or many is scoring presence, the coolest is that each upload you have the option to edit your photo online with a plug at the site editor picnik.

Street style here is not as strong but for me the concept of style and climate are most favored.

Chictopia.com

The chictopia is more focused on clothing and involved with the fashion industry. Here you can browse by color and type of parts, location, style and genre of who uses them enter into discussions etc ...

Fashionfreax.net

Similar to Chictopia but much more European. You also accompanies what people who you follow are wearing or organizing in an interface similar to twitter.

Streetstyle.com

Simpler than the above two but quite street, with a US and Latin footprint.

Do not miss the "Stylyzer" from covet.com. This tool analyzes your style, fits you into one

category, shows some famous who dresses like you and regularly send emails with pieces of clothing that has to do with your result.Plus some filters that you can configure such as price, color and other characteristics. Heard to say that he is your Virtual

Personal Shopper, that means it helps you make the best buys according to your tastes and preferences.

That`s all folks,,,kisses and hugs, if you want you can add me in the communities, I am with the nickname "plexo" or "ismael trabuco". see you around on the net or on the street ;)

don't give a damn style > any clothing that fits

2010-08-12T22:50:00.000-03:00

Just examples to illustrate how to dress in suburbs in the most of time.

Hip Hop Style - The Originals.

2010-06-01T12:47:00.003-03:00

Partnership to produce a video between
"Plexo" and the Rap group "Clã Raça Forte” Brazil.

The national rap or "Rap Nacional" in portuguese is strong popular in Brazil,,, it is normally different.

Different because the rap nacional speaks about the reality for the majority population, the original propose for which it was created in the Hip Hop movement and because of that pays the price of be excluded of the big media. Paradox shared with other musician,
artists and followers in other margins around the globe, for sure.

I know the importance of North Americans like Afrika Bambaataa creator of in the origin of Hip Hop, they are the founders beside some Jamaican guys like the Dj Kool Herc, but let me share one story that tells what i mean.

Once i met two Americans hip-hop militants (from Washington and NY ) in a community center of Diadema city called "Casa do Hip Hop", in the marginal area of São Paulo.
They were invited to speak about hip-hop movement in his country, the origin and so. Suddenly a ~6 years old kid ask the guys:

Iraqi Hip Hop dancers and
Michael Parks Masterson (kneeling, furthest right)

Image via Wikipedia- "what do you think about the raps singed
by some americans like 50cent? "

the guys answered:

- "well, neither everyone likes of these kind of rap..." and starts the discussion about gangsta, west and east coast...

Rap is different than Hip-Hop when it has different goals. The goal for Hip Hop is the striving for equality and justice. the same for some rappers who is united in a joint proposal,
Point for the Rap “Nacional”.

Style code.
As you know, Hip-Hop is the union of 4 street art elements: Graffiti, Break dancing, MC and DJ. Some people say that the fifith is Knowledge

The movement has various variants so i will describe here those who really is from the movement, in my point of view and for sure they inspires all the others who believes in the movement and who wants to join. The most important organization and source for the movement is Zulu Nation.

I list what is most common separated but the items that can be merge in one look for any character.

Break Dancers
More old-school style.
Hat with bandana or headband to dry the swear.
tight or just fit for shirts and pants.
Crew logos
Arm bands to avoid swear.

Graffiti Painters
Dirty pants with ink
Large Outfit
hoods
Backpack with various graffiti

MC’s and DJ’s
More linked with African roots.
Du Rag cap
Bling-Bling jewelry or Bijou.
Logo of your sport team.

Almost always sport shoes, most popular is basketball and street models. but some girls like to wear high shoes.

Geek Style > The Nerd's fashion

2010-04-22T00:53:00.003-03:00

May i call it Marginal? for me yes because it's not in the mainstream of fashion, at least not "at all yet" but i think that i can post it here while it not completes your centralization.

In the right, Henrique, an 18 yrs guy from Diadema city, metropolitan area of São Paulo, he loves rock, emocore, screamo and this kind of bands. in this area he is uncommon but he isn't alone.

In may vogue features the Facebook`s COO Sheryl Sandberg.

Well, Facebook and Vogue are not in the margins but the
style,,,,

So run and prepare your Nerd Style, before it spreads too much...you can see by what Sheryl is using on the picture of the report that the future of the geeks is `changing~ look to her "Marginal Dress" and here is some words of the Vogue's article titled "What she Saw at Revolution"

"...then emerges to answer the door in a sleeveless Calvin Klein dress and black Prada ankle boots. She calls these informal gatherings—a mix of venture capitalists, tech-company execs, moms, book-club friends, and her sister, Michelle—the Women of Silicon Valley, and they meet roughly once a month to listen to notable speakers pulled from Sandberg’s Rolodex (Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer; Carly Fiorina, the former Hewlett-Packard CEO turned California Senate hopeful; Eve Ensler, playwright and women’s-rights activist)."

I think that in TV the Sony Uggly Betty and her boyfriends is a most geek today,,,the folks of Big Bang Theory and Chuck had his time. for me this style on mainstream started in 1980's with Bill Gates, Steve Jobs and the others.And sure the movie "Revenge of the Nerds" is classical...

But in fact, second many fonts "geek is first attested in 1876 with the meaning "fool," and it later also came to mean "a performer engaging in bizarre acts like biting the head off a live chicken." Perhaps the use of geek to describe a circus sideshow has contributed to its current popularity.

I am feel like true geek, do you?

Take a look in these looks sets, it can inspires you;

The fashion

I think that is simple like that available in the downtown commerces, but the artists has dancers that inspires the public.

-Most sensual as possible.

Handmade design in the middle of atlantic forest

Let me start this post telling a story.I met the French Lucille in Rainbow Meeting in Itacaré Bahia-BR and when she knew that i'm designer she asked me to make something with her fabric that she brought from India. For me it was amazing! i prefer don't say how much she paid me but i really like this top and skirt.

Backpackers and people who loves camping are enthusiast of natural living and style. they have a specific fashion. i use to travel and camping in a lot of places here in Brazil, and i met a lot of foreigns and also Brazilians who are followers of this way of life.this really inspires to live light and free.

You can meet a lot oh these people in the cities also. They are Bixo-grilos, Hype Hippies, Rastafarians, hare Krishnas. they deserves exclusive posts but they share this same basis for the style.
