Kada žena odjene traperice u New Yorku, nitko ni ne trepne, ali kada to učini dobitnica Nobelove nagrade Malala, riječ je o političkom činu. Diljem svijeta, individualnost se može smatrati zločinom, a odijevanje može biti znak prosvjeda. U svom govoru o utjecaju onoga što nosimo, Kaustav Dey istražuje kako nam moda pruža neverbalni jezik borbe i ohrabruje nas da prigrlimo istinsko ja.

pronašao kutiju s očevim starim stvarima.
00:18
In it, underpod a bunchmnogo

U njoj su se, ispod hrpe
studentskih knjiga,
00:21
was a pairpar of blackcrno corduroySAMT

našle i jedne crne trapez hlače od samta.
00:27
These pantshlače were awfulgrozan --

Hlače su bile grozne,
00:29
mustypljesniv and moth-eatenmišljenjem.

ustajale i izjedene moljcima.
00:31
And of coursenaravno, I fellpao in love with them.
6
19200
2056
Naravno, zaljubio sam se u njih.
Nikada nisam vidio ništa poput njih.
00:33
I'd never seenvidio anything like them.

1625
00:36
UntilDo that day,
8
24154
1469
Do tog dana,
00:37
all I'd ever knownznan and wornnosi
was my schoolškola uniformuniforma,
9
25647
4490
jedino za što sam znao i nosio
bila je moja školska odora,
00:42
whichkoji, in factčinjenica, I was prettyprilično gratefulzahvalan for,
10
30161
3217
na kojoj sam, zapravo, bio jako zahvalan,
00:45
because from quitedosta a youngmladi agedob,
11
33402
2122
budući da sam od malih nogu
00:47
I'd realizedshvatio I was somewhatnešto differentdrugačiji.
12
35548
2894
shvaćao da sam nekako drugačiji.
00:50
I'd never been one of the boysdječaci my agedob;
13
38885
2360
Nikada nisam bio poput
dječaka mog uzrasta,
00:53
terribleužasan at sportssportski,
14
41269
1502
bio sam grozan u sportu,
00:54
possiblymožda the unmanliestunmanliest little boydječak ever.
15
42795
2661
vjerojatno najmanje muževan dječak ikada.
00:57
(LaughterSmijeh)
16

1088
(Smijeh)
00:58
I was bulliedzlostavljano quitedosta a bitbit.
17
46592
1666
Dosta su me maltretirali.
01:01
And so, I figuredshvaćen that to survivepreživjeti
I would be invisiblenevidljiv,
18
49408
4732
Stoga sam shvatio, da bih preživio,
trebao sam biti nevidljiv,
01:06
and the uniformuniforma helpedpomogao me
19
54164
1585
a odora mi je pomogla
01:08
to seemčiniti se no differentdrugačiji from any other childdijete.
20
56532
2617
da se ne razlikujem od druge djece.
01:11
(LaughterSmijeh)
21
59173
1177
(Smijeh)
01:12
Well, almostskoro.
22
60374
2062
Pa, gotovo da je bilo tako.
01:16
This becamepostao my dailydnevno prayermolitva:
23
64253
1987
Svakodnevno sam se molio:
01:18
"God, please make me
just like everybodysvi elsedrugo."
24
66264
3474
"Bože, učini da budem kao i svi ostali."
Mislim da je molitva otišla
ravno u božju govornu poštu.
01:23
I think this wentotišao straightravno
to God'sBog je voicemailGovorna pošta, thoughiako.

2585
01:25
(LaughterSmijeh)
26
73951
1052
(Smijeh)
01:27
And eventuallyeventualno, it becamepostao prettyprilično clearčisto
27
75027
2502
S vremenom je postalo jasno
01:29
that I was not growingrastući up to be
the sonsin that my fatherotac always wanted.
28
77553
3820
da neću biti sin kakvog je
moj otac oduvijek želio.

1150
Oprosti, tata.
01:37
No, I was not going to magicallymagično changepromijeniti.
30
85523
2835
Bio sam svjestan da me
nikakva čarolija neće promijeniti.
01:40
And over time, I grewrastao lessmanje and lessmanje sure
that I actuallyzapravo wanted to.
31
88382
