Designer

As a designer, you've always got to push yourself forward; you've always got to keep up with the trends or make your own trends. That's what I do.

The apparent pointlessness of fashion may be just what makes it so strong as a zeitgeist sensor. Even I, a designer, do not know why a certain proportion feels dated or why another one feels exciting at a given moment. I leave that to the cultural historians and theorists.
时尚明显的无意义也许正是它作为时代精神传感器如此强大的原因。即使是我,一个设计师,也不知道为什么一定比例的人觉得过时,或者为什么另一个人在某一特定时刻感到兴奋。我把这个问题留给文化历史学家和理论家。
