The 1980’s were a time of individualism, extreme exaggeration, and excessive spending. According to the Pendulum Theory, the fashions of the 80’s have come full circle. These trends are prevalent in bright colors, oversized silhouettes, exaggerated shoulders, and asymmetrical haircuts. In the 80’s, before Earth had reached critical mass and its resources were severely threatened, there was a small group of yuppie environmentalists that had the resources to leave Earth. They embarked on a journey into space to reestablish their social communities, share their ideals, become doers and givers. Self-sufficiency and a green mentality were reinforced, allowing for a remarkable show of love and appreciation for all life. They returned to earth to share all they have learned.
Now, unlike the 80’s, there is a display of conscientious consumerism. Today’s eco-positive citizens ask questions. They want to know the origin of the garment, the fabric content, and the sustainability of that special find. There is a current group of greenpeace environmentalists that has the power and influence to make real change on Earth and these people are you. You are the Greenpeace Yuppies. You strive to practice sustainability and self-sufficient consumption.
Your popular motto is:
Reduce
Reuse
Recycle
David D’Angelo has a deep concern for the environment and the reduction of carbon footprints. His creativity aims to reduce fabric consumption, reuse interchangeable modular pieces, and use natural fabrics that can be recycled. His Spring 2010 Collection has multitudes of wearability. He will focus on classic pieces with modular capabilities that can be worn in a variety of different ways. Thus allowing a woman who wears his pieces to personalize them to suit her own taste. All of the pieces in the collection are constructed from natural fabrics of either silk or cotton, which will provide maximum breathability and comfort. With a futuristic interpretation David D’Angelo’s collection draws inspiration from Japanese origami, the exaggerated 1980’s, and the androgynous silhouette of the 1920’s.
