Fashion 2005 [The ZOO]
Fashion :: Rebel Rebel, The History of American Sportswear
Traditions are the guideposts driven deep in our subconscious minds. The most powerful ones are those we can't even describe, aren't even aware of. - Ellen Goodman, American Journalist
The jacket you keep from ninth grade until your first days in the office, and the suit you wear from the first days out of school until you can't even remember your formative years: this is the stuff American sportswear is made of.
Fashion is about newness, about current energy, about rising technologies, and most of all about change; but like any designer will tell you, certain themes will carry from one season to the next, becoming staples that underlie an identity that isn't only about changing, but also about preserving core values: in this case practicality, American independence, and the role of female designers. view fullscreen feature

Fashion :: Into The Darkness
ZOOZOOM designer profiles introduces Lesley Mobo, the most successful Filipino fashion designer of the moment.
Lesley Mobo won the coveted Diesel Award at ITS3 (International Talent Support) with a collection inspired by the fight for survival in extreme conditions. Titled 'Obesity in the North Pole' Mobo used different textures and layering together with exaggerated shapes to explore the conventional and unconventional form and figure of the human body. The end result was a collection that abandoned the concept of clothing that contained the body and considered it's potential for extending it.
Now with his 'own label' collection for Diesel he has reworked these same ideas and delivered a wearable collection as rich in texture as it is in metaphors.
