W.M.E.V.V.J. Fashion: a video made from a streaker wearing a paper Mask with face of a homeless person and carrying a sign saying “YESBODY” on the Amsterdam Dam square. The video has become an ironic document of the actual streaking event and the eventual arrest of the streaker, who was charged with “indecent exposure” and “disturbance of a public place”. In the accompanying police report it mentions that the streaker was inspired by ancient philosophers.

W.M.E.V.V.J. Fragrance: Diogenes apparently said: “I’d rather perfume my feet because the perfume I spray on my neck and face dissolves into the air while perfume on my feet will end up in my nose”. This was Diogenes at his best, an expert in the field of moralizing ethics. “Staying within the boundaries of the experience” was an often used statement by the cynics and the jargon for this statement is the word “immanent”, the magical name of W.M.E.V.V.J.’s fragrance which does not actually exist yet and may never see the light of day. As it was Diogenes again (to whom this fragrance is an homage) who praised those that firmly set out to do something and then decided not to.

W.M.E.V.V.J. Accessories: maybe the most humorous and fun as this part of the collection consists out of a W.M.E.V.V.J. “fan” scarf (which can easily be mistaken for an Ajax Football Club scarf), Pins (saying subversive things like: Austeiger, Yesbody, Nudist, Outdividual) and last but not least, brilliantly reinvented football jerseys (each shirt made out of two to three “old & second hand” football jerseys).

W.M.E.V.V.J. Dress rehearsal rag: The cynical philosophers were true democrats always attempting to find large crowds to address in order to convey their original ideas even though their views could easily be perceived to be strictly elitist. Thursday the 29th of November W.M.E.V.V.J. held its show in Club More in Amsterdam, freely accessible for everyone and anyone. The following movie shows an impression of this barbarious evening, filled with subversive ideas, nudists and some modern day cynics.

　
Future Rags The “stylebook” is, for now, only available in Dutch but may be published in English in the near future mostly depending on foreign requests and pre-orders. For more information on W.M.E.V.V.J. and the possibility of ordering some of the above mentioned items please visit W.M.E.V.V.J. online. Let’s hope it won’t be long before W.M.E.V.V.J. surfaces again with a freshly made collection of “rags” or maybe sportswear even.
