Vanessa Friedman made an interesting point of view, perhaps partly related to this topic, no need for fashion criticism?
the whole art. is here:
"Which reveals both the increasingly complicated scheduling of the fashion collections, with cities crammed in back to back as more and more designers jump on the schedule, as well as one of two possible realities: either Marc doesn’t really care about the UK, because it is a tiny market for him, and hence has made the executive decision that he can accept that loss in exchange for a better show, or the show itself has become less about the industry than those outside it: the general public, who do see the livestream.
So which one do you think it is?
I lean towards the latter, which is the subject of my column in tomorrow’s paper; effectively I think fashion week is turning into a reality TV show, which isn’t necessarily in fashion’s best interests (though it may work for those who run/own the Fashion Week event). Anyway, I’d be very interested in your thoughts on the matter."
