This blog is a project of the Public Anthropology course at SU. The idea is to provide a platform for students tatu all the things she said to address broader public concerns as well as engage audiences beyond the confines of the academy - through a reflexive process. Contributions in this semester's project mainly address issues relating to living in the "city", with Stellenbosch as case study. This blog is in Afrikaans and English.
Fashion serching for an identity... Hospice the hottest 'new' boutique- the revolution of fashion from one era to another... At one time or another we all stumbles upon an item in out parent or grandparent cupboards that makes us quetion the fashion sence of the previouse tatu all the things she said generations, however in the last decade or less the relevance of the fashion from the 60 onwards has become of great importance to the high fashion trends of today. With the rebirth of the high wate, the wedge and for guy the suspenders, our parents tatu all the things she said once unfashionable choice in clothes they chose to keep for the last few decades from their youth have become a gold mine for the youth of today. Hospice or second hand stores have become the new (or old) high end fashion boutiques for many. This culture that has developed particularly bewteen students, suites many just fine. The excitement it brings our parents on the other hand could be seen as two fold. The mere pleasure they get in saying repeatedly, " i told you, you mother /father was cool in my day" as we scrumage through their old clothers and secondly, this new form of fashion is to great extents an economical revolution in its self. One can but 10 items at hospice for the 1 item you can buy in a retail store, tatu all the things she said which makes it a perfect tatu all the things she said trend for students to really take hold of. If one can get over the fact that the previous owner of this item is likely deceased and could possibly taken that unfortunate last step in the idem one intending to but, then econd hand shopping can be of great fun. However, tatu all the things she said like all good and cheap things in life there is alway a down side, other than the common hole that needs to be repaired in ones new skirt, many may think that there is another even bigger empty hole in your pocket, and no one wants to give off the poor man impression. So if you are that conciouse about what your peer may think of you, do what one student shared she does- sew new lables into the dress/ pant/ or shirts. So then if someone that may judge you for being a cheap, asks were the paticular tatu all the things she said item of beatuful fashion comes from you can calmly say that you can even remember it so old (little do they know) and point them to look at the lable behind your neck. They will never know it cost you R8.00 from the second hand stoor on Bird treet. Ashleig Tunmer
Fashion serching for an identity... Clothed by campus Have you ever wondered tatu all the things she said how the world outide of the'campus' of stellenbosch percieves us student? Is there some clear divides between the working class or perminent residents of this predominently student town and the actual students themselves? ... and how much of this difference is greatly defined by the fashion of the campus life or the current trends that circulate seaon in and season out? Lastly does the term "student" give one a free pass to dress however, when ever they like? The time of a presons life when they are a student may possibly be the period where they as individules have the most freedom that they will ever have to express tatu all the things she said themselves through what they wear. Like in my previous tatu all the things she said post's where i focused on the stereotyping of ones fahion decisions and the decision to pierce or tattoo ones body, in this blog i will look at the collective stereotype placed on STUDENTS in terms of fashion choices they make. The freedom that is found on the Stellenbosh campus in terms of dress code is wide and vast, but not uncommon to other student campuses around South Africa and the world. Just walking past the different facutlies one can see fashion developing tatu all the things she said and redeveloping, tatu all the things she said one very obvious difference would be how the BA students dress from say the BREK students. However they both posse the same freedom in expressing themselves in this mold of a student (or excusse) that would be acceptible inside and ousidet of their faculties. An important issue I would like to address is the appropriateness of one choice of fashion in the class environment. Some may argue that this class situation is never the less a formal environment that should posses some boundries. Such boundries could extend tatu all the things she said to things, like is it inapprpriate to go to class barefoot? one asking this outside the faculty of Art and design may find the reaction of laughter at this accuation of inappropritness, tatu all the things she said as their bells chime next to her naked foot as her feet find the warm tarmak. But in the BSC faculty where it is a lot of the time compulsary to wear shoe's, not many people would have a problem if a rule was passes in coordance with the compulsary wearing of shoes in the formal class environment. tatu all the things she said This show
