is this anything

[thirdity]

The unspeakable is, of course, not a boundary dividing a positive area of allowability from a complete and totalized negativity, a boundary located at least one step beyond the forbidden (and the forbidden, by definition — no? — must be speakable if its proscriptive power is to function). If we pursue the boundary as such, it will recede before us as a limit of mists and vapors. Certainly it is not a line drawn in any absolute way across speech or writing. It is not a fixed and locatable point of transgression that glows hotter and brighter as we approach it till, as we cross it, its searing heat burns away all possibility of further articulation. Rather it is a set of positive conventions governing what can be spoken of (or written about) in general; in particular, it comprises the endlessly specialized tropes (of analysis, of apology, of aesthetic distance) required to speak or write about various topics at various anomalous places in our complex social geography — places where such topics are specifically not usually (or ever) spoken of: What is speakable between client and accountant is unspeakable between newly introduced acquaintances at a formal dinner party. [...] What is speakable between a magazine essayist and an audience concerned with art and analysis is unspeakable between a popular journalist and an audience concerned with “everyday” news.

THIS POWERPOINT PRESENTATION SHOWING MY INITIAL RESEARCH STARTING WITH TOMMY HILFIGER/TOMMY JEANS TO HELP INSPIRE THE MAKING OF MY OWN T-SHIRTS AND UNDERSTAND THE RANGE OF STYLING THEY USE AND HOW THEY REPRESENT THE TOMMY HILFIGER AS A HOLE. LOOKING AT ART AND DESIGN CONTEXTS. NEXT MOVING ONTO MOTEL ROCKS RESEARCHING INTO MORE DETAIL WITH LOOKING MORE AT THE BRAND ITSELF AND THEIR ADVERTISING. RESEARCHING THEIR FILM CONTEXTS AND LOOKING AT THEIR SOCIAL MEDIA AND HOW THEY HOLD THEMSELVES TO PROMOTE THEIR BRAND ONLINE. LOOKING AT THEIR ADVERTISEMENTS AND HOW THEY EMBODY MOTEL ROCKS TO HELP INSIRE MY VIDEO. LEARNING THAT TRENDS IS A MASSIVE PART TO FASHION AND KEEPING UP TO DATE WITH THEM IS IMPORTANT. NEXT I MOVED ONTO LOOKING AT ELLE MAGAZINE RESEARCHING THE GRAPHIC CONTEXTS IN THE PAGES. SEEING HOW MAGAZINES USE COLOURS AND LAYOUTS TO PORTRAY CERTAIN MESSAGES IN THEIR WORK HELPING ME WITH DIFFERENT UNDERSTANDINGS IN MAGAZINES GIVING ME INSPIRATION FOR MY LOOK-BOOK. LASTLY LOOKING AT EMPORIO ARMANI IN ELLE MAGAZINE LOOKING AT PHOTOGRAPHY AND FASHION DESIGN CONTEXTS. LEARNING HOW BRANDS USE COLOURING,STYLING AND EDITING TO COINCIDE THEIR BRAND IN THEIR DESIGNS. HELPING ME WITH INSPIRATION FOR MY PHOTOSHOOTS AND POSTERS FOR FASHION FUSION.
