WTF

And of course the written word has been used as a means of control down through the centuries.

There are times when I even consider Orwell's writing a means of conditioning to this end. Who needs the written word with beloved television doing such a smash up job!

"The written word is a lie ! "

- J. Lydon

haha...that quote certainly is no exception.

Of course George also had TV very much covered in "1984"

You mean "over the top" as in EXTREME ?!

As in not too much concerned about commercialism but more about following one's own vision in order to satisfy one's own artistic aspirations and vision ?!

i agree totally with you on this point.

There are a shed-load of new labels who are modifying Horikawa's raw , "not giving a fuck" approach and taking it right to the bank.
Including one pretty famous Brand that I had to quit in disgust when it got too appalling.

Maybe they should employ you to get them on the schedule in Milano along with all the other shallow commercial money machines that you obviously worship ?!

The truth is all the accusations and misinformation constantly repeated here mostly stems from ignorance of the truth. An ignorance born out of the fact that A) Julius was for the longest time an exclusively Asian Brand and B) They have intentionally kept themselves an "underground" phenonoma and purposefully mysterious and remote from the "fashion" world.

Part of the reason that they eventually emerged on the Parisian Runway was to clear away some of this ignorance , but obviously this is going to take some time.

I know each and every one of the doubts and accusations that have been leveled at this Label and I can better than most explain and repudiate each and every one.

The reason being that I KNOW the truth.

And Knowledge is Power.

you have some serious passive aggression running through you....

I don't really want to take this any further, but I do wonder how you expect the rest of your fairly reasonable argument to stand up with the inclusion of sentences like that. I have said nothing to suggest that, and it couldn't be further from the truth.

i have commented on something to say that it is not to my taste. Your arguments suggest that this must mean i'm some sort of commercial capitalist who hates anything subversive or rebellious.

when i said it was not to my taste i did not say that i can't see why anyone else could like it.

[tlack]

It is the idea , also mentioned in the bible BABEL story , that language has served mankind as more of a divider , a reason to hate another than as a tool to create community ( equally as valid ).

Language , even in this Thread , is often used as a means to ridicule.

Wars have been fought over miscommunication

And of course the written word has been used as a means of control down through the centuries.

Wow I didn't know all those terrible Engrish signs and TV shows were made with such high-minded intentions!
