After my essay on cybercultures, I knew I didnt want to carry this on further into level 3. I decided I wanted a new direction which would hold my interest for 8000 words! My tutorial with Toby left me somewhat confused, but one of his suggestions got me interested. Abject and sexuality in fashion. I have looked into the abject in some of my previous projects, and I find it really interesting.
Some designers I could look into include; Galliano, McQueen, Comme des Garcons, Maison Martin Margiela, Vivienne Westwood, Ann Demeulemeester, Rodarte, Shelley Fox.
The Powers of Horror, Julia Kristeva: a book on the abject and its relation to fear, love, death, religion, sexuality etc.
The History of Sexuality, Michel Foucault volumes 1,2 & 3
The Edge of Fashion: looks into the relationship between fashion and the abject (amongst other things) highlighting important designers/collections etc.
Fetish of the abject?
Feminism
How abject and sexuality relate through fashion.
