Ezinye ingqokelela zifuna i-thesaurus, i-encyclopedia, kunye neeyure ezine phantsi kwe-Wikipedia wormhole ukufumanisa ukuba kuqhubeka ntoni. Abaculi abancinci kunye neentshukumo ze-crypto-zenkolo, nabani na? Ezinye zicacile kwaye zilula, ngamanye amaxesha kakhulu.
I-KTZ ilandela iplani yamva: Umculo obetha ngamandla uyaqala kwaye iimodeli zibethe i-catwalk enxibe ii-getups ezahluka kancinci, kodwa ngokwaneleyo, ukusuka kwixesha ukuya kwixesha lonyaka. Ngeli xesha iKraftwerk idibana neRussian Futurism idibana nomdlalo waseMelika. Ngokucacileyo! Ewe, akunjalo ngokucacileyo, kodwa ndibhale phantsi "i-baseball" kunye "namashumi asibhozo e-Gaultier," owathi kwi-1987 wadala iqoqo le-Cyrillic-stamped ngokukhawuleza elibizwa ngokuba yi-Detente Chic phakathi kokunyibilika kweMfazwe ebandayo.
Apha, iMelika ibilawula ngaphezu kwayo nayiphi na enye into, ukusuka kwisipili sokuvula-imbonakalo ehonjisiweyo ewela iLiberace kunye neBootsy Collins kwizihlangu zokubhola ezimpompelwe phezulu ngeqonga. Bebethanda ukujula i-bowling clobber, kodwa baqhawuke bafana neenguqulelo zabahambi ngeenyawo bezihlangu zeRocking Horse ezithengiswa kakhulu zikaVivienne Westwood. Umyili we-KTZ u-Marjan Pejoski yinzondelelo yempambano yase-Westwood, ngokuzenzekelayo: Amagxa atsolo kwiidyasi zakhe ezimbalwa ezingaphezulu avele ngqo kwingqokelela yakhe yamaGqwirha ka-1983.
IWestwood iye yanyelisa ngokuchasene ne-imperiyali yenkcubeko yaseMelika, kodwa ngokucacileyo uPejoski uyayamkela. Iibhatyi zakhe ubukhulu becala zaziikholeji, zineengcaphephe ezisikwe kwiidyasi okanye iziqhushumbisi ezinde. Abambalwa bathungwa ngemithungo emikhulu eyenziwe ngesikhumba eqhele ukonakalisa umphezulu webaseball. Iibhulukhwe ze-baseball zaba ziibhulukhwe zemihla ngemihla; imivimbo yokutyikitya ephawulwe izikipa kunye nezikhafu zoboya be-intarsia. UKraftwerk unike imibala: ebomvu, emnyama, emhlophe. Ngaba iFuturism yaseRashiya? Nah-ngaphezulu kwamashumi asibhozo eretro.
I-KTZ ayijongi ukwandisa isiseko sabathengi bayo, okanye imida yefashoni. U-Pejoski ebedlalela isihlwele sasekhaya ngobu busuku, ethe yavuma. Ngokuphathelele umntu omtsha ongazi? Ewe, bukela umdlalo we-baseball ngaphandle kokwazi imigaqo, kwaye ungabikho bulumko. Ugqiba ekubeni udinwe kancinane, udangele kancinci, kunye ne-crick ejikeleza intamo yakho ujonge wonke umntu obambekayo ngokungenanjongo.
