new style of AOSANDO

i went to "Aosando Art Fair", opening party on the day.

"AOSANDO" is new name for the alley which connects Aoyamadori St. and Omotesando St. Then, new art fair is coming to this alley, called “AOSANDO ART FAIR”. Many creative and unique shops, boutiques, hair salons and art galleries are here on AOSANDO (from http://aosando.com/)

this art fair is new style. it really is a blend of the two cultures. It should be noted that cross culture event.

contemporary retelling of tropicalia

I went to "Soca 2008/Design lecture" in 21_21 design sight.

today lecture is "Fashion special Brazil" by Guara inc.

Brazilian fashion is one of my interesting things. (of course, all Brazilian culture too)

all of Brazilian creator think Respect Nature, Favela, aboriginal, Eco system and ex social problem.

Brazil fashion is affected by 2 things. one is start of SPFW(Sãopaulo fashion week) in 1990. second is rise of Alexandre Herchcovitch.

and, i was most strongly impressed with about Tropicalia on the day. Tropicalia is a Brazilian art movement that arose in the late 1960s and encompassed theatre, poetry, and music, among other forms.

I think... in 21 century, culture will explode and change the world economy, government, and all of ours. like Brazil in 1960s...
