I know you're not a big fan of the one-of-a-kind world idea, but I'm finding splintering everywhere. Who even wants somebody else's ringtone? That's one way to think about the question of why fashion is a mess. By creating the ability to individuate, we've exhausted the ability of "the runway" (and its equivalent in every other context, e.g., the United States) to dominate. When Appalachian State beat Michigan it signaled something even huger than YouTube: the Big Dogs are still big but the little dogs eat the big dogs' lunch too often to be ignored.

what can you expect when the brightest star on the firmament – hedi slimane – has turned his back to the industry and is taking b+w pictures of pale skinny boys instead and is experimenting with concept bauhaus furniture.

there is one who could fix this misery. – there is one who could give direction to it all again – but he preferred to step off the stage and to do some soul searching and creative experiments.

hedi, we need you.
