HEM at the Wellington Underground Markets
HEM stockist Design Cartel, Willis Street, central Wellington.
Since the establishment of their partnership in 1998, Adidas and the New Zealand Rugby Union have re-created the All Blacks as a marketable brand. The elevation of a rugby jersey to a recognisable patriotic symbol shows the influence marketing can have on a piece of clothing - or perhaps an entire collection of clothing.
In a recent interview with Style.com, Alexander Wang states, “I’ve always liked to take something very dressy and bring it down, [take] something very, very casual and elevate it.” Taking cues from Wang’s design aesthetic, I will produce a contemporary, wearable, trans-seasonal 2012 womenswear collection that communicates a distinctive rugby theme. I will create my own brand, appropriate and re-design All Blacks imagery and employ marketing techniques to generate a tongue-in-cheek advertising campaign that encapsulates the same sense of excess, spectacle, obsession and celebrity as New Zealand rugby.
While I am not the biggest fan of the sport, I am intrigued by its impact on New Zealand society. Exploring the commodification of rugby and turning it into a body of work is my contradictory way of joining the fandom that surrounds rugby in the lead up to the world cup this September.
“I’ve always liked to take something very dressy and bring it down, [take] something very, very casual and elevate it.” Alexander Wang
