No, this is not a large-scale Elsa Peretti design for Tiffany & Co. It is the Cloud Gate by Anish Kapoor. Seeing so many visitors reflected on its surface got me wondering about the current state of fashion...
As you probably know, some of the best fashion fragments can be found on YouTube. One in particular shows a younger Edmonde Charles-Roux who clearly states that ready-to-wear cannot take the place of création.
She is still right. Clothing that is manufactured to trend, to market segment, and to store buyer's specs can only be what they used to be called: garments.
As designers do a group re-think in the coming weeks and months, while we cannot return to the old days of fashion, we can look forward to that which can astonish our senses.
