i don't think clothes have to be BORING to be commercial
there's a lot of different markets out there
and definitely if more people (esp customers, critics) were in tune with the amount of work involved in the clothes...the design, the construction, the little details... and even studied and tried these themselves, like experienced making clothes from scratch themselves, they could see it's not so boring. there's always something to see
so, in a way i am saying this is all almost complete ignorance
