Amanye amaqoqo adinga i-thesaurus, i-encyclopedia, kanye namahora amane phansi kwe-Wikipedia wormhole ukuthola ukuthi kwenzakalani. Abaculi abancane kanye nokunyakaza kwe-crypto-religious, noma ubani? Ezinye zicacile futhi zilula, ngezinye izikhathi kakhulu kakhulu.
I-KTZ ilandela ipulani yakamuva: Umculo oshisayo uyaqala futhi amamodeli ashaya i-catwalk egqoke ama-getups ahluka kancane, kodwa anele, isizini nesizini. Ngalesi sikhathi kwaba uKraftwerk ehlangana neRussia Futurism ihlangana nomdlalo waseMelika. Ngokusobala! Hhayi-ke, hhayi ngokusobala, kodwa ngibhale phansi "i-baseball" kanye "ne-Eighties Gaultier," owathi ngo-1987 wakha iqoqo elinesitembu sikaCyrillic elibizwa ngokushesha ngokuthi i-Detente Chic phakathi nokuncibilika kweMpi Yomshoshaphansi.
Lapha, i-America yabusa ngaphezu kwanoma yini enye, kusukela ekuvulekeni kwesibuko esifekethisiwe esinqamula i-Liberace no-Bootsy Collins phezu kwezicathulo zokuphonswa kwebhola eziphonswe phezulu ngamasoli epulatifomu. Bebethanda i-bowling clobber, kodwa bagcine sebefana nezinhlobo zabahamba ngezinyawo zezicathulo ze-Rocking Horse ezisadayiswa kakhulu zika-Vivienne Westwood. Umklami we-KTZ u-Marjan Pejoski ungumuntu oshisekayo wase-Westwood, kwenzeka nje ukuthi: Amahlombe acijile kumajazi akhe amakhulu ambalwa ayephuma eqoqweni lakhe labathakathi bango-1983.
I-Westwood iye yahlambalaza i-imperialism yamasiko aseMelika, kodwa ngokusobala uPejoski uyakwamukela. Amajakhethi akhe ikakhulukazi ayengamakolishi, anemininingwane yevarsity asikwe abe amajazi noma amabhomu avele enwetshiwe. Ezimbalwa zazithungwe ngemisubelo emikhulu yesikhumba evamise ukulimaza indawo yama-baseball. Amabhulukwe e-baseball abe amabhulukwe nsuku zonke; imigqa yesiginesha ephawulwe ama-sweatshirts kanye nezikhafu zoboya be-intarsia. U-Kraftwerk unikeze imibala: obomvu, omnyama, omhlophe. I-Russian Futurism? Nah-i-retro engaphezu kwamashumi ayisishiyagalombili.
I-KTZ ayibhekile ukwandisa isisekelo samakhasimende ayo, noma imingcele yemfashini. U-Pejoski ubedlalela isixuku sasekhaya namhlanje ebusuku, esizwakalise ukugunyaza kwaso. Ngokuqondene nomuntu osanda kufika ongazi? Hhayi-ke, bukela umdlalo we-baseball ngaphandle kokwazi imithetho, futhi ungaqhamuki ngokuhlakaniphe kakhulu. Uvele ucine usukhathele kancane, usamangele, ukhala ngokuzulazula intamo yakho ubuka wonke umuntu ozulazula ngokungenanjongo.
