Museum of Transport

A trip to the Museum of Transport was very useful to my research.  I could understand the development of the transport in London and the need for a new and faster way of walking around. 

As the city grew, the tube grew together. Starting in 1890 as a full of mistakes transport -some tunnels were too small or the power supply not adequate - and turning into a massive and complex system that changed London forever. 

I could also observe how the transport changed people's lives, helping them to have a broader access to the rest of the city and other places.

The museum created a film called "My line" which is a documentary about people and their experiences in the tube, how it changed their lives and how important it is to them.

STRUCTURE AND ATTACHMENT

LONDON FASHION WEEK

London Fashion Week, a place to learn what we will be wearing in a couple of months and the perfect location to showcase your personal style and your ability to create the most interesting looks. Some are quite interesting, but others are really questionable. So, how can we find the balance between a real fashionista and a show off that knows nothing about fashion and just want their picture on some street style blog? It's like Suzy Menkes once wrote at the article The Circus of Fashion "There is a genuine difference between the stylish and the showoffs — and that is the current dilemma. If fashion is for everyone, is it fashion? The answer goes far beyond the collections and relates to the speed of fast fashion" .  Although she sometimes seems to blame the bloggers for that, I don't quite agree. Yes, bloggers helped to make the talk about fashion more accessible and more people want to be part of it, but   they are not responsible for the no-nothing-show-offs of the crowd..

DISOBEDIENT OBJECTS

Government and people are attached to each other and operates as the structure of a big machine. The Disobedient Objects exhibition shows how different types of design can be used as political instrument, but more than that, it shows how important art and design are when it comes to self-expression and rebellion. People using art to show the wrongdoings of politicians is not something new and it developed as years passed by. It is possible to observe those changes in this exhibition, how a car can become a piece of resistance or an inflatable cobblestone, pieces that alone mean different things, but when changed the context can became a very strong expression of art.
