NET-A-PORTER – OCTOBER 2009

HOW DO YOU THINK FASHION WILL DEVELOP OVER THE NEXT 30 YEARS?
WHAT DO YOU THINK WE WILL BE WEARING IN THE YEAR 2040? 

FROM WHAT I SEE, WE'VE GONE THROUGH 2 PHASES: GRUNGE BROUGHT US A FEAR OF LOOKING TOO POLISHED, SO WE OVERACTED WITH LOOKING EXTREMELY CARELESS. THEN, WITH ACCELERATED COMMUNICATION LIKE THE INTERNET, SO MANY MORE OPTIONS BECAME AVAILABLE. WE DEVELOPED AN INDISCRIMINATE TREASURE-BOX LOOK. WE VERY WELL MAY BE HEADED TO A '40S-LOOKING ERA, A PERIOD OF VERY CALCULATED COMBINATIONS; MORE CAREFULLY EDITED LOOKS WITH MORE EXTREMELY ACCESSORIZED EFFECTS. I WOULD LOOK FORWARD TO THAT.
