i think even if
he doesn't care about creating affordable clothing he certainly could do it. was he not a tailor at saville row? his clothes if you strip it's opulence away are cut well and have great proportions. even his arty touches, such as the merry-go-round theme collection, could have fanastical prints on garments instead of costly embellishments. i think any great designer could and maybe should have a diffusion line, not only because it's smart, but because i would love to see them step up to the challenge at creating great clothing inexpensively. i think maybe i'm taking the industrial design perspective that such restaints are what equals really good design.
