A lie to get out of something, or take an advantage for oneself, that’s one thing; but a lie to make life more interesting—well, that’s entirely different. | | | | | Larry Kramer, founder of ACT-UP and the Gay Men's Health Crisis group, Dec. 20, 1989.

| | rantnrave:// Opposition is the order of the day. Everyone knows what they don’t want. Do we have courage enough to say what we do? Both THE OUTLINE and THE FASHION LAW discuss OPENING CEREMONY's recent stylistic ode to protest. When sartorial outrage is on the runways and in e-commerce stores, who does it represent? JIAN DELEON took a look at RAF SIMONS and immigration in the fashion industry, and this piece analyzes the ethics of Post-Soviet fashion, from someone who was born in YUGOSLAVIA. Can the opposition between romantic inspiration and the realities of people "who lived it" be reconciled? Media creates these ruptures while at the same time aiming to close gulfs in experience. When the disagreements arise, how can we ensure they're productive?... HUDSON CEO BOBBY KIM's parents are originally from NORTH KOREA, and much respect to him for his openness in this conversation on MARKETPLACE... S/o to CHAVIE LIEBER for two stellar stories on how companies are organizing in opposition to a proposed border adjustment tax. Over 100 companies have joined forces… Postmodernism comes full/half/segmented circle: PHILLIP JOHNSON's AT&T building, much maligned/adored bastion of postmodern architecture, is home to a fashion exhibition. The building now stands unoccupied, and PARSONS fashion students are populating the windows with the project #UN_MADE. The show addresses waste in the fashion industry—a mix of video, samples, patterns, and say it with me now, de-con-struc-tion. Will definitely be heading to 550 MADISON AVE... Don't miss this story: a collection of 6 horrifying tales from the floors of retail stores, courtesy of RACKED... FRANCA’s house… HYPEBEAST launched a K-site… Read this Sep. 24, 1979 edition of the “About New York” column by FRANCIS X. CLINE to be transported to another time, our place. #NYC. | | | - HK Mindy Meissen, curator |
