The Wayard Canon presents:
The Mantle
31/01/09, 16h-19h
When seen together the pieces in this collection are called 'the mantle'. the collection of outfits represent the lineage of mythological use of clothing. Since ancient times jackets coats and robes have been inscribed with special meaning and mythalogical power. Now days we are left with the M1A Bomber jacket, once a flying jacket used in combat and in more recent history sported by queers and skinheads in a display of anti establishment street authority. This event also includes guidence on donning a lifejacket, used to save the wearer from drowning, but perhaps used as a myth based status more often, to display a diversion from the dangers of travel.
