Now Open 24 Hours: Audrey Wollen + Cali Thornhill DeWitt

Human Resources LA 410 Cottage Home, Los Angeles, CA

What we wear is often shorthand for who we are, or who we want to be. The codified manner in which we dress signals positions of power through public and private spheres, specifically the public notions of meaning and private hierarchal structures of inclusion and exclusion. Fascination with cultural identity is both the means and the end: fashion, like art, engages a public desiring insight on culture from seeing itself reflected back on a critical, yet consumable scale.
