Get Inspired: i-D's "The Fifth Sense"
The Fifth Sense

With the arrival of the new year, people feel pressured to create their New Year's resolutions. Personally, I don't care for all the hype, but I do think it's important to set goals for yourself. So after stumbling across one of i-D fashion film project called "The Fifth Sense" on YouTube, I got inspired.

Across five cities in five countries, one of the most-in-demand young photographer's known as Harley Weir captures five creative women at different stages of their young lives, each inspired by the complex characteristics of CHANEL Nº5.

Strength

In Paris, young actress Oulaya Amamra, is guided by her strength and grace from the apartment she shares with her mother to the movie sets where she immerses herself in every character she plays.


“All of your life experience, your stories, that is what makes you complex.”

Identity

In Tokyo, photographer Momo Okabe's technicolor vision of her environment and her perspective on the way in which we create our identities is displayed through her photography as she transforms her subjects' bodies first documented at the bars and backstreets of Shinjuku’s quiet gay scene.


“Categorizing or defining yourself, the question ‘Who Am I,' is just a futile worldly passion.”

Desire

From the highways and beaches of Los Angeles, poet Zariya Allen's journey of youthful self-expression and teenage desire uses her hometown's rhythms to guide her words as she continues to figure out her place in the world.


“There is nothing more women than making the whole ocean move.”

Drive

In Johannesburg, South Africa, dancer Manthe Ribane shares her powerful story of a young woman on the journey of finding herself, alongside her brother and sister, as she is driven to create performances that will honor the memory of their parents and inspire the children of their neighborhood to keep moving forward.


“Don’t be five minutes, be timeless.”

Depth

In Berlin, artist Christine Sun Kim uncovers the profound way in which our senses work together to make meaning of the world through her extraordinary perspective. Born deaf, Christine creates work that asks viewers to think about sound itself, not simply as something we physically hear, but as a concept or even an idea.


"When you speak, you might have a fixed facial expression, but the tone of your voice, it inflicts..."

Focusing on strength, identity, desire, drive and depth, these five women are able to find forms of expression that allow them to not only keep in tune with themselves and those around them, but also celebrate their creativity.

Raising the minimum wage to a livable wage would not only benefit workers and their families, it would also have positive impacts on the economy and society. Studies have shown that by increasing the minimum wage, poverty and inequality can be reduced by enabling workers to meet their basic needs and reducing income disparities.

I come from a low-income family. A family, like many others in the United States, which has lived paycheck to paycheck. My family and other families in my community have been trying to make ends meet by living on the minimum wage. We are proof that it doesn't work.

April Ludgate

Every college student knows and understands the struggle of forcing themselves to continue to care about school. Between the piles of homework, the hours of studying and the painfully long lectures, the desire to dropout is something that is constantly weighing on each and every one of us, but the glimmer of hope at the end of the tunnel helps to keep us motivated. While we are somehow managing to stay enrolled and (semi) alert, that does not mean that our inner-demons aren't telling us otherwise, and who is better to explain inner-demons than the beloved April Ludgate herself? Because of her dark-spirit and lack of filter, April has successfully been able to describe the emotional roller-coaster that is college on at least 13 different occasions and here they are.
