Dear NY Street Fashion Magazine Readers,We are very pleased to launch the first issue of NY Street Fashion Magazine in English. It is a free multicultural fashion and lifestyle magazine published quarterly.
The magazine was launched in Spring 2008 in Japanese. Due to the overwhelmingly positive reaction from the American audience, we decided to publish the magazine in English. The mission of our magazine is to introduce emerging designers/creators in the New York area.
The most fascinating fashion today comes from the streets and youth subcultures. Our editorial staff walks around the city of New York to find the coolest and the hippest designers/artists, people, stores and events. For “The Hottest Designer in NY” column, I interviewed one of the most promising designers in NY, Telfar Clemens, known as Telfar. He is a designer who rejects any classifications and boundaries that are socially constructed. This issue also introduces one of the hottest stores in NY, Maryam Nassir Zadeh, and also includes an article about different ways to spot anime fans through fashion. We provide information about current and upcoming fashion- and art-related events and exhibitions in the New York Tri-State area.
We hope to make the magazine interactive with our readers so if you LOVE art and fashion and you would like to be featured in our magazine, e-mail us your artwork or fashion at [email protected]
Comments and questions are also welcome.
Sincerely,
Yuniya (Yuni) KawamuraEditor-in-Chief/Publisher

Name: Telfar ClemensBirthday: January 21, 1985Born in NY and lived in Liberia, West Africa until the age of five. Graduated from Pace University in NY with a bachelor’s degree in business. Started his owncollection in 2005.http://www.telfar.net
Telfar A/W 2009 Collection
Telfar Clemens, known simply as Telfar, is one of the most promising designers in New York. He is avant-garde. He is postmodern. He understands
that our society is becoming increasingly postmodern. “Fashion is about today, and I am not interested in retro or in recreating something that was in trend in the 1960s or 1970s,” he says.
What is so postmodern about Telfar’s design is that he attempts to break all existing social categories, such as sex/gender or menswear/womenswear. In his Spring/Summer 2009 collection, it is evident that his clothes are unisex, and his models are androgynous. If a man wears Telfar’s clothes, it becomes menswear; if a woman wears it, it becomes w o m e n s w e a r … a s simple as that.
For his most recent Fall/Winter 2009 collection, he uses zippers in a creative way. A jacket and a skirt or a pair of pants can either be zipped and attached to create a one-piece outfit or unzipped and worn as separate pieces. The way we categorize various shapes of clothes into different groups, such as jackets, pants or skirts, is socially constructed. These classifications and groupings also need to be destroyed.
Telfar first works with an idea or a theme and then executes it into real clothes with the help of a patternmaker and a sample maker. He began making and sewing his own clothes as a child because he could never find things that he really wanted or was looking for. His grandmother used to run a sewing school so he learnt some basic clothes-making techniques from her.

The HOTTEST Designer in NYTELFAR: A Postmodern Designer
By Yuniya Kawamura
Thornstein Veblen, anAmerican sociologist/economist, in his famous The Theory of the Leisure Class (1899) denies the practical and functional elements in fashion, and this often leads to a discussion on functionality vs aesthetics. Telfar convincingly integrates the two dimensions in his design. “My basic philosophy is that fashion should be wearable and practical, and at the same time beautiful and fashionable. Things that only have the aesthetic elements do not interest me at all,” he explains. He also has his own accessories line and designs unique accessory items, such as a knee brace and an arm band brace, each of which has its distinctive functional components.
During tough economic times, designers often become less adventurous in their design since taking risks can be commercially fatal. But Telfar always strives to be original while seeking to find that is uniquely Telfar. “I want to create something that’s just mine.”

The HOTTEST Store in NY:MARYAM NASSIR ZADEH
By Solomon Chase
Maryam Nassir Zadeh has created a fresh, eclectic retail environment with her new namesake boutique in New York’s lower east
side. Zadeh, a former textile designer turned fashion designer and now store owner, relocated to New York three years ago from L.A. after closing her successful fashion line to try her hand at retail. She and her business partner/fiancé, graphic designer Uday Kak, think of the store as a lifestyle space that fuses their fascinations with fashion, art, global culture and performance. Surrounding the September ‘08 opening, music and dance events were held in the store where customers feted amongst clothes, shoes, jewelry,
cacti and u n i q u e sculptural finds.
Floor to c e i l i n g g l a s s windows e x p o s e t h e i n t e r i o r
of Maryam Nassir Zadeh from the relatively quiet block of Norfolk St. between Rivington and Delancey. The gutted space reveals the original architectural structure, highlighting a beautiful, raw concrete floor, steel support beams and a central column. Zadeh sees the venture as more of a concept brand than a traditional store. They not only sell the clothing and accessories but the ever changing and carefully chosen display pieces as well. Opting out of a traditional merchandising system, Zadeh curates the open floor space with plants, antique furniture finds, and textiles found through out the world. She wants the boutique to have a personal and familiar feeling while providing rare and refined products. It’s a bit like visiting someone’s home, purveying their décor and going through their closets, only you can buy pretty much everything.
There is a casual, effortlessness about the design and motley array. The shopper is surprised at every turn by a Hannah Sander metal-mesh necklace lurking aside a pile of rocks or blown glass rings hanging
delicately from a branch. Concrete organic sculptures are scattered with handmade rubber and metal jewelry by Elena Estaun Sanchez. A driftwood tabletop is adorned with Dieppo Restreppo
unisex oxfords, and a spattering of ultra-cool books and magazines. Zadeh chooses labels that she believes in, that have unique perspectives and are wearable, functional necessities for any closet. The store stocks New York fashion designers Vena Cava, Ohnetitel, and Rachel Comey as well as Sweden’s Acne Jeans and L.A. based Jasmin Shokrian. These pieces are mixed in with a few worn to perfection vintage t-shirts, one of a kind Peruvian textile cloaks by Lindsey Thornburg and a very diverse array of accessories. Customers come to Maryam Nassir Zadeh when they’re looking for something special, artistic and creative. In fact, many of the designers can’t be found elsewhere yet, a fact that lead Zadeh to open a showroom beneath the store to represent some of the newer talent that she has discovered. The boutique has most recently begun featuring the work of selected artists across the white brick walls, adding another component to the diverse approach. Zadeh says the store is really a “platform to create,” and only part of the multifaceted Maryam Nassir Zadeh brand that has many more plans for the future. We can’t wait to see what happens next.

How to Spot an ANIME Fan Through Fashionb
by Sarah Fasano
You may remember in 1998 when almost every child in America was obsessed with Pokemon, a cartoon from Japan. It was about a ten-year-
old boy named Ash (Satoshi in Japanese) who traveled with his friend, Pikachu, in order to become a Pokemon Master. What you may have not known is that this cartoon, along with other Japanese hits such as Dragon Ball Z, Sailor Moon and Digimon, started a culture craze called anime that has swept the youth in the United States and around the world.
“Anime” is a term referring to a style of Japanese animation. It is often based on manga, which are Japanese graphic novels. Manga and anime characters can be recognized by their large round eyes and big, often brightly colored, spiky hair. This style of art has made it easy for other cultures to accept anime. The characters do not particularly look Japanese, or even Asian for that matter. The first anime to air on television in the United States was Astro Boy (Tetsuwan Atom) in 1963 on NBC1. Astro Boy was created by Osamu Tezuka, who is considered to be the father of anime2. He was inspired by Walt Disney cartoons. After the success of Astro Boy, Tezuka created Kimba the White Lion (Jungle Taitei). Many anime buffs believe that Disney stole the idea of Kimba the White Lion to create The Lion King, which shares many similarities to the anime. Another famous anime from the 1960s was Speed Racer (Mach
Go Go Go), which was recently made into a live action movie in the United States. Although anime continued to be shown on American television, it did not reach the height of its popularity until the 1990s, when channels such as the WB (now CW11), Fox Five, and Cartoon Network’s Toonami started to air popular anime titles that hooked young American audiences.
People like anime for different reasons. “I knew I was a fan of anime when I first saw Dragon Ball Z. It looked so different and the level of action was so intense. I knew that I had to see more,” says Liza Torres, the student representative of the FIT (Fashion Institute of T e c h n o l o g y ) Anime Club. Other aficionados say that they enjoy the storylines. They feel that they are very original, new, and intriguing. Others adore and are often inspired by the style of art. Being an anime fan also offers a community in which fans can come together and make friends. Opportunities where anime enthusiasts can meet take place at anime conventions, which thousands of fans attend every year across the United States. Similar to Star Trek fans (also known as “Trekkies”), some buffs dress up as their favorite characters at conventions. These people are called “cosplayers”. Some cosplayers take their hobby very seriously. They compete in costume contests and present skits. The most skilled cosplayers can win the chance to compete at the annual World Cosplay Summit in Nagoya, Japan where the best cosplayers around the world show off their beautiful handmade

costumes and perform fantastic skits.
Subcultures have a style that allows its members to identify each other. This is the same for anime fans. The way enthusiasts can spot each other is through anime-related clothing and accessories. Messenger bags are very popular. Fans wear messenger bags displaying the art from their favorite anime or decorate the bag with buttons that have pictures of their favorite anime characters on them. They also wear t-shirts and sweatshirts that show off their favorite Japanese shows. Some anime fans wear fleece hats that have animal ears on them, such as cat ears, fox ears, and rabbit ears. People usually wear these hats at anime conventions. But it is very rare to see someone wearing one in public. This also goes for cosplay. Anime fans who don’t wear the clothes usually carry anime-related key chains, cell phone charms and wallets.
Many people grow out of their anime craze after high school or college. People start to look for jobs and work, so they no longer have time to watch cartoons or go to a convention. Some people also feel that they get too old for anime and slowly stop watching, and then they move on.

What exactly is fashion? It is difficult to give an exact definition of fashion because the word has had different connotations throughout history;
the meaning and significance of the word have changed to suit the social customs and clothing habits of people in different social structures. When fashion is treated as an item of clothing that has added value in a material sense, it confuses the notion of fashion. Fashion does provide extra added values to clothing, but the additional elements exist only in people’s imaginations and beliefs. Fashion is not visual clothing but is the invisible elements included in clothing. Brenninkmeyer (1963) defined fashion as a prevailing usage of dress adopted in society for the time being. It is the result of the acceptance of certain cultural values, all of which are open to relatively rapid influences of change. Fashion as a concept signifies additional and alluring values attached to clothing, which are enticing to consumers of ‘fashion.’
Finkelstein (1996) accurately points out that consumers imagine they are acquiring these added values when they are purchasing ‘fashionable’ items. Similarly, Bell (1976[1947]) argues persuasively that fashion is the essential virtue in a garment without which its intrinsic values can hardly be perceived; fashion encompasses the value added to clothing. However, these writers do not determine what precisely these values are. For instance, Paris as a brand is definitely one of the values, but scholars neglect to provide evidence as to how that value was produced.
No matter which time period in history one is talking about, the definite essence of fashion is change. The fashion process explains the diversity and changes of styles.
Polhemus (1994, 1996) emphasized the association of fashion with an ideology of social change, and a situation in which change is also possible and desirable. In some societies where the dominant ideology is antipathetic to social change and progress, fashion cannot exist. Why does fashion change? One simplistic common view today is that fashion is the result of a conspiracy on the part of makers of clothes to make us spend more money, and that it is designers, clothing manufacturers and business people who impose new fashions in order to stimulate the market and increase their trade. This may be an economic explanation but not a sociological one. The building of fashion cultures does not depend on the amount of money that consumers spend on clothing. I argue that a fashion system supports stylistic changes in fashion. The system provides the means whereby fashion change continually takes place.
Novelty is also included as a crucial part of fashion, and it is highly valued in fashion. Koenig refers to ardent fashion followers as ‘neophilia’ (1973: 77) stating that humankind receptiveness for anything new is, among many other aspects, in some way essential to fashion-oriented behavior (Koenig 1973: 76). Similarly, Barthes correlates fashion to newness as follows: ‘Fashion doubtless belongs to all the phenomena of neomania which probably appeared in our civilization with the birth of capitalism: in an entirely institutional manner, the new is a purchased value’ (1967: 300).
Change and novelty are two of the characteristics that fashion encompasses. Fashion-ology makes an attempt to explain how institutions encourage and control these changes in style on a regular basis which simultaneously creates novelty. Contents of fashion, that is clothing, are constantly changing, but fashion as a form always remains in fashion cities.(Excerpt from Fashion-ology: An Introduction to Fashion Studies (Berg 2005)by Yuniya Kawamura)
