It’s not cool to look fashionable in my gang. I think it’s important not to be ‘fashiony.’ We try to send the message that we’re against consumerism, and that’s our kind of revolution. We don’t throw bricks; we stop buying. We don’t look at magazines, they make you feel insecure and they’re too authoritarian … Instead, in my group, we create our own thing. Someone will pick up a mood from an old record cover or an old film and we will play with it and interpret it … fashion just isn’t important anymore in the conflicted times that we live in.
Othilia – French teenager and fictional character in Widlchilds by Eugenia Melian.
