The task of raising a collage that forays into fashion is arduous and pitiful. Firstly, fashion is a slippery phenomenon, like a jelly hydra, it eludes even the most patient and skilled handlers, which we were not. We often cut to the chase. We exhaust our senses in the pursuit of an ideal perspective for each our issues, but with this issue, it was not business as usual, our modus operandi was put to test. Second is that there is no global approach that seeks to suck in all the fragments of fashion and adapt it for a cosmic show glass. Suffice to say that fashion is personal, tribal, religious and prone to the element of time and even weather. So how did we weather this rock? We needed a slant which providence (or was it internet?) brought our way in Suzanne Ushie’s piece, The Serious Guide to Being a Seriously Unfashionable Writer. It was a safe slant; if you like, a tangential plank that bridged us closer into shaping the mound of our entries. This also effectively failed. Each piece that came, came with a difference, a nuance that seemed set upon the head of the previous; all crammed with insightful approaches on the concept of fashion. This was how we failed in securing a unanimous perspective for fashion; how we succeeded in multiplying the richness, the effusiveness, the feverishness and sometimes agonizing details of fashion. And like after every fashion show, we have earned the right to present ourselves as the culprits responsible for this scandalous but noble feat.
