Little Thoughts

Senior menswear designer with O'Neill & a little on the side with Nike Sportswear. Welcome to nothing important. xx

YSL creative director Stefano Pilati on the state of fashion:
“Fashion is not fashion anymore. I am sure of this, but nobody realises this because the world is full of romantics like me — people who continue to believe in it… A while ago, things were more elitist, and this allowed it to be more aspirational and directional, and this would inspire others. It might have even — to use a horrible term — “taught” others. Nowadays, what can you teach? I might make a collection in flannel, and then the next guy makes a collection using technical see-through nets. If somebody doesn’t know much about fashion, what can he draw from this? What can he learn? It makes no sense! He can’t use fashion as a road map, he’s lost. Nowadays, it’s all business.”
