The Brands in our Bags

This morning I asked students at my weekly Joshibi seminar to select one branded itme in their bags and put it on a table. We then had a discussion about the ways in which these things could be categorized, interpreted and 'read'. This is what came out:

A Louis Vuitton bag

A Kitson purse

A Kitamura leather commuter pass holder

New Balance shoe

Outdoor bag

Dolce & Gabbana watch

Apple ipod

Apple iphone

Comme ca du mode purse

Display: Life Through Vegetable, Flour and Sand
