‘One Day’ a decent revival

As a new series ringing in the new

year, Netflix’s “One Day at a Time”
ponders the teenage experience
and celebration of family in a
revival of the classic 1975 series
of the same name.
While
the
term

“reboot” may be used
to describe many
throwback
series,

“revival” is the more
accurate term for
“One Day at a Time”
— though the sitcom
may be reminiscent
of its namesake, it’s
exclusively one of a
kind.

The series opens on the Alvarez

family,
a
Cuban-American

household that struggles to find
balance between dueling cultures.
In a classic battle of the ages,
Justina Machado (“The Purge:
Anarchy”)
portrays
Penelope,

a recently divorced single mom
juggling the trials of divorce, work
and, of course, teenage hormones.
As hard as Penelope works to
raise her children in a world of
opportunity, her children push
back harder, with technology
and
left-wing
viewpoints.

Opinions are more specifically
propagated by Elena (Isabella
Gomez, “Matador”), Penelope’s
feminist teenage daughter who
refuses to participate in her own

“quinceañera,” a coming-of-age
party for 15-year old girls, as she
feels
the
cultural
celebration

is rooted in misogyny. These
generational arguments, both with
equally compelling points, are
ultimately what drives this series
and makes it so captivating.

What’s so interesting about

“One Day at a
Time”
is
that

their
arguments

are
never
idle

bickering. Rather,
they
are
deep

conversations that
ponder the larger
issues of money,
race and class. So
while
Penelope

might
push
for

her
daughter’s

appreciation
of
her
Cuban

heritage, Elena equally fights for
recognition as a modern feminist.
All the while, “abuela” Lydia
(Rita Moreno, “West Side Story”)
and shopaholic son Alex (Marcel
Ruiz, “Snowfall”) balance out the
mother and daughter with antics
of their own. While Lydia serves
as a reminder of the family’s Cuban
heritage, Alex is a reminder of the
economic struggle and how they’ve
persevered over the years, despite
lacking a prominent father figure.
From talks of antidepressants to
the war in Afghanistan, this revival
is taking a modern spin to the
American family.

Looking back on the pilot

episode, one can see that “One Day

at a Time” succeeds where “Fuller
House” falls short — capturing that
old-school sitcom vibe without
falling into cheesy material. While,
at times, some aspects tread that
thin line, this reboot focuses on
family struggles more than pulling
some quick laughs. One of the few
weaknesses lies in the hipster
landlord Schneider (Todd Grinnell,
“Nesting”), who offers advice to
Penelope’s children with a side-
dish of cool attitude and urban
slang that falls short of convincing
and moves straight into the realm
of awkwardness. Even if this is the
character trait the series is pulling
for, the lines are often overzealous
in delivery, breaking the sincerity
of the series with an inward cringe.

Overall, the Alvarez family is

dynamically different from the
family of Netflix’s recent revival
of the “Full House” series. Not
only in race, but in the dynamics
of a working American family,
struggling to make ends meet from
day to day. With an unapologetic
look inside the modern family and
the struggles of cultural heritage
and appreciation, “One Day at a
Time” is plunged back onto our
screens as a driving force in the
world of sitcoms. Although there
is still the fluffiness of a sitcom
present in Netflix’s revival, the
touch of reality makes “One Day at
a Time” unique and well-worth the
watch.

The first season of “One Day at a

Time” is currently streaming in its
entirety on Netflix.

Revival of ’75 series brings refreshing diversity to Netflix

“We are culture. Rap is the

new rock ‘n’ roll. We are the
rock stars.” —Kanye West

From Karl Kani and Cross

Colours
to
Rocawear
and

Fubu, the hip-hop community
has been involved in fashion
since before its emergence into
the mainstream. The birth of
modern streetwear, and the
ability for brands like Supreme
to coexist with brands like
Ralph Lauren, have artists like
Damon
Dash,

Jay
Z,
Puff

Daddy,
and

many
others

to thank. Even
though
these

brands
have

their
origins

as
early
as

1989, it wasn’t
until
recently

that
rappers

were able to
break into the
high-fashion
world. Designer fashion is a
completely
different
beast

from brands started in houses
and garages. Something that
goes
along
with
designer

brands is the idea of status:
when
a
customer
buys

something from Louis Vuitton,
they are not always buying
it for the pattern itself, but
rather because the pattern
says
something
about
the

quality of their life. Brands
like Gucci and Versace are
considered to be high class,
and hip-hop artists have long
been considered to be of a
lower class than designers,
its the concept of old-money
vs. new-money. Things have
long been this way, but are
beginning to change. Rappers
are finally entering into the
fold with regard to designer
fashion. It’s long overdue.

It really was not until late

2008 when an artist like
Pharrell was able to have a
jewelry
collaboration
with

Louis
Vuitton.
That
was

quickly followed up by the
brand’s
2009
collaboration

with Kanye West. Still today,
only
a
few
houses
have

admitted their influence and
appeal
to
hip-hop
culture

(Rousteing
and
Tisci
at

Balmain and Givenchy come to
mind). 2016 has been a much-
needed year for hip-hop stars
further disrupting the fashion
industry. To highlight a few,
A$AP Rocky was named as one
of the faces of Dior Homme’s
FW16 campaign (and has had
successful collaborations with
J.W. Anderson and GUESS),
Young Thug and Frank Ocean
were
shown
modeling
for

Calvin
Klein,

and
Travis

Scott appeared
in
a
Yves

Saint Laurent
video.
Saint

Laurent under
Hedi
Slimane

was
often

criticized
for

having a very
whitewashed
runway show.
His
Spring/

Summer
15

show
featured
one
black

model, who was essentially in
a Jimi Hendrix costume, and
they have not had many more
since. So, Scott’s appearance
in the video was a much-
welcomed surprise.

The
fashion
world
is

changing:
Internet
forums,

Instagram, and other sites
are
becoming

an
integral

platform
for

sharing what’s
popular
in

fashion around
the
world.

Consumers
are
taking

cues from hip-
hop
artists

and
buying

into the status
association
of

wearing
the

same thing as
Kanye or A$AP
Rocky. Looking back at last
year,
the
biggest
question

I’m left with is this: Why
haven’t more designer houses
taken cues from Balmain and

Givenchy to work with hip-
hop artists?

Mainstream
popularity

drives business, and there’s no
denying that hip-hop qualifies
as mainstream. One of the
most pervasive themes in hip-
hop is the idea of conspicuous
consumption
and,
whether

designers like it or not, these
artists are ambassadors for
the brands and are driving
sales. It makes sense to me to
use them as a marketing tool.
It’s instantly visible when I’m
browsing sites like Grailed for
clothes and I see a picture of a
highly coveted item worn by
Kanye, or Rocky being used
as a selling point. It is hard
for me to not think about how
many extra wallets and bags
are sold when Lil Uzi Vert raps
“Hunnid bands on the Goyard”
in his song, “Of Course We
Ghetto
Flowers,”
or
how

many more people looked-
up
the
mentioned
brands

when Rocky says “I see your
Jil Sanders, Oliver Peoples/
Costume National, your Ann
Demeulemeester” on “Fashion
Killa” and then proceeded to
save up for a pair of shades or
boots.

To
me
it
sounds
like

unrequited
love:
Loving

something so much, only for
it to not feel the same. That’s
the relationship between hip-
hop
and
designer-fashion

in the world today. It comes

down to class,
like I previously
mentioned:
In

the
world
of

high-fashion,
the
hip-hop

community
is

still
viewed

by many as a
dangerous other.
While
I
don’t

know what the
solution
here

is, it’s time for
major
fashion

houses
to

recognize
that

they are cannibalizing their
own sales by continuing to
marginalize such a successful
group of customers and all of
their fans.

Unrequited love: hip-hop
and designer fashion

Old money, new money and the introduction of hip-hop into
the world of high fashion and what this means for the industry
