Olympic summer games 1968 in Mexico: black power salute

Tommie Smith and John Carlos, 1st and 3rd in the 200m respectively, showed their solidarity for the Black Panther movement on the medal podium while the anthum played. In addition to the fists and the gloves, they also wore no shoes to protest black poverty, and beads around their necks to protest lynching. Within hours, they were stripped of their medals and sent home.(more)

I couldn't find a recording of just the salute. Though this clip is very interesting, "the salute" doesn't come with the original sound, wich makes it less powerful than it was in reality.

Lidewij Edelkoort; talking textiles

"The exhibition curated by Lidewij Edelkoort at the Spazio Gianfranco Ferré, via Pontaccio 21, showcases a selection of textile design projects. “Textiles talk to us,” (hence the exhibition title, Talking Textiles) – explains Edelkoort – “and we must talk about textiles because word-of-mouth can bring them into our homes.” We are witnessing a full-on textile tsunami, a surge from the past because textiles disappeared from our interiors in the 1970s with the advent of plastics. On display is a wide selection of designs applying innovative techniques to the processing of textiles, in works by Christine Meindertsma, Inga Sempé, Hella Jongerius and David Lynch, among others.

Bas Kosters (studio) during AIFW

Bas Kosters Studio  pret-a-porter show W11/12, a true party to watch 'cause i'ts fun, fun natural fun !

This show is a fine example of the fact that fashion isn't all about clothing. 

Personality, concept, dreams, opinion, fun, and everything else nice in life, are some of the most important aspects of creating an interesting collection.

Whether it's clothing, stuffed animals or whatever........it can all be called fashion.

The overwhelming vision of Bas Kosters probably is the cause of clothes being the subordinate aspect in his shows. He isn't the king of clothing design, but I certainly can visualize people wearing this collection, Fashion Mutants,  easily.They are a very aesthetic, useful canvas to tell your own, personal story. In Dutch fashion design that's not often the case.

Mostly its the other way around. A sloppy, boring straight forward show with clothing that's so loaded with ideas that you can't wear them. 

Unless you don't care for your own style-ego, or want to be a walking advertisement.
