Barack’s Fashion Invasion

The day has finally come when American politics have their say in the fashion world.
Barack Obama placed the runway and the guests seated around it inside a cage. Yet even without the bars, his audience would have been captive.
Not only is it his moment, it is a level of influence and power for a president that is literally unprecedented from any time since the New Deal and Franklin Roosevelt. If he handles it right, it could be his century.
It's as though he takes a perverse delight in watching onlookers struggle to decipher her unpredictable collections.
Many changes have taken place in the fashion world since the 60s. The sexual revolution showed us he effects of fashion on the people.
It was seen as a sign of women's freedom to dress as they pleased. What we're seeing today is just an extension of that, as the government unleashes their own style upon the nation. And as Barack go low cut, so do the masses.
I do think we are Barack obsessed. It does seem as though one of the manifestations of that is to imitate politicians. They’re got us wearing their clothes; soon we’ll b thinking the same way.
I cannot in my memory remember a time when a president of the United States has had more influence.

Final Submission















The green foliage on the interior and rocky faces in the tunnels reflects a natural space within the solid mass, and is supported by an energetic "growth" of pathways interconnecting different parts of the space. This is "natures truth" as mentioned bu Nobel, hidden behind it's "veil" of the wall.















Cousteau's quote about the "fragmented world" is reflected here in the sharded and segmented sructure of this studio. It is also supported by the various platforms that are onnected by pathways, as Cousteau talks about "interdependence" between the rivalries of the world, no matter how fragmented it becomes. In the same way, each platform relies on the others to prove a ramp to the meeting place.















The interconnection between nature(within the solid mass) and the world's own interdependence on eachother, is represented by the way both nature and human's are brought together and need to rely on eachother in a compromise in order for a better future, they are connected by the ramps in this space, bringing harmony between them at their meeting place. The meeting place becomes their compromise.
