Looking at an exhibition of one hundred
tailor made suits, each of them original in design but made
of the material of mass production itself, at first glance
the signs of the commercial art of three continents merge
into an undistinguishable pattern of global uniformity. Is
that it? The human body reified into a multinational mass
product, neatly packaged in the all time favorite classical
suit and stretched on
wires across the room, evoking some kind of modernist productionline-nightmare.
Fully guaranteed, fat free and ready to go. Or is it a celebration
of the individual, the unique product from the hands of a
skilled craftsman and the ultimate decadence of an haute couture-item
that will only last you one party?
