Week 2
Inspiration from G-Dragon (Kwon Ji Yong) collaboration with NIKE.
I find it really interesting how G-Dragon came out with such an idea and has impacted the fashion industry. It’s proven how people are now very interested in the original Nike, Air Force 1 after his first collaboration with NIKE after serving his 2-year military services. G-Dragon is generally a Fashion Icon in the Fashion Industry.
What’s the meaning behind “Para-Noise?”
He doesn’t remember anymore but it represents today and the present for everyone. He believes that we’re shaped through past experiences and further grows to become our future selves through today. He wanted all of us to remember that we should remember and cherish each moment that passes by.
Revealing a new layer, onto the’s sneaker’s upper that wears away. Our footsteps are the result of our decisions. I believe you can completely change the meaning behind these sneakers depending on how you wear them.
How did he come up with this concept?
He calls it a fun way of production, just like how an artist creates work through music, lyrics, and music videos. When he first started this project, he thought expressing my ideas on a pair of shoes would be restricting but he found a lot of freedom after learning that he could add an extra layer onto the upper layer. People tend to develop and grow as they discover themselves through time, and I wanted to show that through these shoes.
