It presents critical writing and projects by a wide range of authors from the worlds of art, fashion, literature, and academia.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIssue 2 inverts issue 1’s focus on the immaterial notion of style to instead explore the most material of fashion’s building blocks: clothes Clothes are literally everywhere and cite complicated systems of production, distribution, and exchange on their paths around the world. Still, they never fully reveal their journey or destination, and may often signify little else than their own commodity status, the total genericness of the fashion product.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBringing together a wide range of artists, thinkers, and writers, the issue sets out to explore clothes as a signifier at once empty and over-burdened: as expressions of desires, people and places, as palimpsests for capitalist production cycles and histories of dressed bodies, and even, as nondescript material debris. While not necessarily foregoing an analysis of the fashion system, we hope to develop a form of fashion criticism that begins – and perhaps ends – with the single garment, that takes the everyday use of clothing objects as an intellectual starting point.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat knowledge can we gather from the studying of fashion objects, be they material or immaterial? What is the difference between clothes and fashion? And to which extent is even “fashion” ever successfully signified by things?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePublisher: Bierke Verlag\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePublished: 2021, 2025\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePages: \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e174  \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eDimensions: \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e22 × 18 × 1 cm\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"do you read me?!","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47841150566587,"sku":null,"price":41.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0655\/1778\/1179\/files\/31578-Viscose-2-1_1.webp?v=1778864055","url":"https:\/\/nyc.doyoureadme.de\/products\/viscose-2-clothes-2025-re-issue","provider":"dyrm?! x VP, Inc.
