Tigersprung: Vintage, Revival, Reuse
Words: Professor Patrizia Calefato, Image: Elsa Ahlbom Fischer & Nacho Alegre
Excerpt:
“Wearing second-hand clothing, recycling garments and styles of previous generations, listening to old music remixed into new tracks, re-elaborating lines and forms, re-living old “contemporary myths” by re-proposing them in the market and in the imagery: all of those practices constitute what is presently called vintage, reuse and revival. Revival is actually a strategy that has always occurred in the revolving of fashion, but that currently manifests itself in the fragmented, syncopated decontextualisation of signs of the past, quoted and so living again in the present.”
