Alexander Fury in the Independent, stating the bleedin' obvious. As much as I like Fury, I much prefer our own Mr Rabkin's take on the subject in his recent comment on sz-mag.
"Confused? You bet. The industry is confused right now: the designers, their collections, and the journalists watching them. And no wonder, given the contradictions; with brands lauding luxury, distancing themselves from the vagaries of “fashion” and trying to create something eternal but ever-fluctuating, satisfying a perceived need for newness driven by a clientele painted as insatiable nymphomaniacs driven by the greatest aphrodisiac of all: change."
