BON # 26

Aren't we all obsessed with the idea of society? Even fashion, this most individualistic of worlds, frets about being a part of it, whether we're talking high society or the street. Then there are the virtual ones, the secret ones, the general lack of one. Hang on, do we even know what society mean anymore?
Acne Studios' Jonny Johansson wants to be so current the brand becomes one with time, and hence, society.
Christophe Lemaire refuses to make clothes that act as a social mask, but also confronts the idea of a lone star designer in today's fashion climate.
Meanwhile, artists Nathalie Djurberg and Hans Berg have moved from sex and violence to nature and introspection, The Banks are creating fragrances to woo back the public and young women such as Zhala and Seinabo Sey are bringing feminism to the music industry.
Don't like the society you're in?
Take inspiration from lebanese activists at work right now.
Whatever society means to you, we're all in it together.
