Everything Is Fashion

Ladies and Gentlemen,

Well, not everything is fashion and not everything is good taste... Nowadays we are experiencing a "natural style" which can be summarised as the victory of nature over a selfish civilisation... Everything is fashion means in this context the victory of personality over the lack of ideas... I would like to show you a couple of examples of the "natural style..."

Architecture:

• Makovecz style: nature and folk art overcome concrete and prefabricated buildings
• IKEA: Swedish folk art overcomes cold
• Hundertwasser: playful nature overcomes boredom
• Commerzbankturm (Frankfurt am Main), Pan Pacific Orchard (Singapore): nature overcomes skyscrapers

Music:

• Madonna: female genius, as strong as a natural force, overcomes repression of women
• boy-groups: men singing about their emotions overcome fascism (Audience)
• gay parades: gay men celebrate the victory over fascism (Audience)
• Enya: natural and supernatural overcome iron and steel civilisation, supernatural is in this context a triggering of natural (CNN)
• Mr. Michael Jackson: plastic surgery and loneliness overcome the genius, his life story is paradox

Industrial art:

• Bangle-BMWs: cars look like birds
• first Mercedes-Benz CLS-Class: the car is decorated by birds
• SUV-rulership: nature overcomes urbanisation
• Rolls-Royce-rulership: leather, wood and lambswool overcome plastic, RR Phantom Serenity and Scintilla (Audience)
• fusion everywhere: the greatest forces of nature overcome self-destruction, fusion overcomes isolation
• Retro-style: nostalgic emotions overcome disposable society (Audience)

Movie and television:

• Star Trek TNG: dream of peaceful future overcomes the conflicts of our present days
• Titanic: nature overcomes selfish civilisation
• Fight Club: masculine nature overcomes everyday life
• Avatar: nature overcomes selfish civilisation
• Harry Potter: development and a parallel universe of magic overcome the Antichrist who wants to establish a criminal civilisation

Best wishes, Joseph de la Mikula and Team
