Speaking of backers and short term interests, I’m immediately reminded of the wonderful documentary Valentino: The Last Emperor (see it as soon as possible if you haven’t already). At least in the present economic system, I suppose there’s an inevitable tension between fashion artistry and making money. However, there’s a difference between making enough money and the increasingly popular ethos of making as much as possible regardless of other values. After Lacroix, who’s next?
