Fletcher Shirz Biography
The Garden: Everything is in the garden. The fruitful dialogue between these arts continues to this day: the tiny Prince Prince paces the catwalk along with the Matthew Williamson's Devils during the show, British indie roles are removed in Burberry onion, and Glastonbury and Primaver give birth to Festival-Fashion. But here is the paradox: when the music begins to dictate fashion trends-it does not always come out successfully, but logical-a subconscious desire to be like an idol, etc.
But when the fashion tries to get into the music, some garbage is usually released-for example, with the The Garden group, which became the face of the “punk” collection of Yves Saint Laurent. But everything began with a very understandable and natural scheme. Richard Hell Richard Hell could put on some kind of tearing simply because it was fast and convenient, and after a couple of years half of the London pinks went in the same breaks.
Fans of KISS and in ordinary life wore Glam rock boots on the platform, at the concerts of Richard Hawley Richard Hawley, Teddy Boymi Chiskeli, and Britney Spears Britney Spears were met at airports of crowds of girls with tumor-pulled pigtails. Things were inextricably linked with a specific subculture, and if a person-a performer or listener-attributed himself to some kind of musical community, this was elementarily read from his appearance.
Such subcultural blur - a consequence of a part of the process of globalization, partly that music is less and less than a collective philosophy.
Today it is just a flower. Starting with America, the epidemic of individualism captured, on the one hand, most of the planet, on the other, almost all spheres of the activity of its inhabitants. Today, committing certain actions, the musician is guided by personal values and goals. At the same time, all three go along completely different musical and life roads. And most of those performers who sign petitions in support of Pussy Riot have never performed on the same stage.
The Garden is fatly emphasize this trend. The twin brothers from sunny California, they seem to play neo-punk. The prefix “Neo”, of course, can turn over any cultural phenomenon upside down, but in the case of The Garden, it seems to be an excuse that the duet refused the cornerstone of punk music-contrasting itself to society. The tricks The Garden is not a protest, but only a cute foolishness.
Wyatt Shirz loves to dye her hair in wild colors, Fletcher Shirz - to wear dresses. In my opinion, nothing out of the ordinary. And so it is necessary to multiply chwes, fragmentary songs on the supposedly shocking manner of dressing. Although, the shocking here is also relative: who saw at the Scissor Sisters concert a naked man with a cracker on the genitals, he, as you know, does not laugh in the circus.
The Shirz brothers did not create a trend: they were chosen in order to illustrate it. They actually have nothing to do with the punk-Rivivla either in music or in fashion. These are ordinary teenagers who blinded a group based on rather meager material and creative resources. An influential fashion house, in turn, generally wanted to spit on music: the main thing is to come up with a new style icon.
It is difficult to assume that YSL managers will delve into the intricacies of punk ideology-especially when this ideology in its pure form already does not exist. The Garden advertises clothes from YSL because they are young, impudent and a little strange. Here it is: the fashion on her own initiative climbed into the music - and everything confused. And although the same collection of YSL, I would, my heart, bought everything, the story of the success of the California duet seems to me pure Simulakrome.
It’s better to let adolescents buy hats like Pete Doherty and train the mirror of a silly facial expression a la Grimes-here at least everything is honest. Their style is a little glamor, a little second-hand, a little Steve Batssa and a little housewife of the fifties. ”
