... Fashion is both a visual and a material expression, both a cultural sign of our times and a commodity with a fixed prive, it is interconnected with all things that surround us in Western Culture. (...) It is time to let go of how old ideas of what fashion can be, to search for ways in which the industry can reinvent itself, to question the narrow boundaries of its own definition. Refusing to spend our lives obsessing over underpaid work can also be a way to rediscover what we are actually passionate about. In this way, perhaps it can also be possible to find new beginnings for fashion as an aesthetic expression, but from a more experimental, humorous and less mechanical perspective
