It is extremely important to me that the social and environmental issues associated with the production of fashion clothing are addressed.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I think the responsibility lies with the fashion world as a collective. We have to demand more variety.
Fashion is very important. It is life-enhancing and, like everything that gives pleasure, it is worth doing well.
Fashion is a very particular world, as you know.
I really think that creating clothes and fashion has to be a statement about how we live and where we live and what's happening in the world.
I think sometimes the fashion world isn't even about clothes anymore; it's about this 'in' crowd, and I'm not into that.
One cabbie chastened me by saying that the fashion industry was doing harm to young people, who are trying to live up to an unrealistic ideal. It prompted me to make body image and diversity key issues on 'The Business of Fashion.'
In general, fashion is decorative, it's protective, it acknowledges that the world does involve conflict, and you might be attacked by assumptions, presumptions, and attitudes.
Fashion is just an interpretation of the culture around us.
Fashion is not about clothes, it is about a look.
Fashion is capitalism, and it will be fixed by what the market demands.
