“Hammer House of Fashion” by Ali Mahdavi
Editorial for Tank Autumn 2006
Born in Tehran in 1974, but now living in Paris, Ali Mahdavi is a filmmaker and designer of costumes that are extravagant affairs inspired by French Catholicism and Mahdavi’s Persian heritage. From silver cloaks to opulent purple robes stitched in gold, these strange outfits tread a fine line between high church and camp. After completing his studies in Paris at L’Ecole Nationale des Arts Appliqués Duperré, Mahdavi worked for the French fashion designer Thierry Mugler. In 2003, Mahdavi had his first solo exhibition at Scout Gallery in Hoxton Square, East London.
Tous Les Autres S’Appellent Ali
Ali Madhavi has Alopecia Universalis, a disease that deprives him of hair and his film focuses on those who are similarly afflicted. "I have been compared to all the bald people on earth..yet all I need is a wig for all resemblance to evaporate. No longer having hair violently changes our relationship with others, and the rules of seduction, desire, and one’s love-life are deeply disturbed, especially if the illness manifests itself before adulthood. Having lived through the same pain, shame and thus the same arrogance, I was convinced that we would all have the same feelings. Yet I was forced to notice while working on this project that even if, like a faltering army of clones or extra-terrestrials, we belong to the same race, deep down we are all just as different from each other as if we had hair and our lamented eyelashes and eyebrows."
Nike Hatphone Makes for Wishful Thinking (or Smart Marketing)
Nike has launched the HatPhone, a soft shell therma-FIT hat with built in controls for your iPod Nano.
The company says "This cozy, comfortable skullcap features full functional Nano click wheel controls through a power mesh window in back so you can keep moving while mixing up your music".
The Nike Hatphones Cap sells for $60 in the US and is available in black, grey, blue and red. No price as yet as to whether it will be available in the UK.
Maybe they should change their slogan from “just do it” to “let’s think about this first”.
