The Red Carpet Highlights of... The 77th Annual Cannes Film Festival 2024!
That's the book I was referring too, I love that book! It just came out when I was in Belgium. I saw it in Stijl, a great Brussels boutique, and I was toying with the idea to buy it in Flemish language. I'm sure you have "Belgian Fashion Design" too B)Originally posted by Scott@Feb 6th, 2004 - 10:01 pm
I read a similar quote in Young Belgian Fashion Design which he said that sometimes as a designer you don't like to think about that kind of stuff--you just want to create. And I'm sure everyone can relate to that but unfortunately sometimes it does cause problems since we live in a commerce driven world now.

thank you so much for posting those here scott*
i adore the 'mirrors' collection and the presentation was simply breathtaking (much more for the scared-to-lean-on-mirrors models)
very good comparison-my god -scott-those pictures are amazing. We never see much of the avante garde here in NY. It's very comercially driven in the US. That mirror collection is the first time I heard of Jurgi and that's the collection I pulled pieces of to shoot.Originally posted by Scott@Feb 7th, 2004 - 9:49 am
But I adore his presentations. Almost all of them have been brilliant. He reminds me so much of a fashion version of a Hitchcock film. Just the spooky stillness of them seem tremendously intense. They're always so cerebral and calm,though.
You are hitting a nerve with me, I've been analyzing the subject for years. I think it's the following (and if I may sound anti-american, so be it - I know I definitely don't mean toOriginally posted by Scott@Feb 8th, 2004 - 11:45 am
Softegrey,its so true. Although,we've got the talent,none are hardly being recognized here. Funny thing is,you say they don't welcome outsiders,our talent seems to be embraced better over there than here. Not to sound anti,but frankly,I feel I can garner myself more substance there. And since I want to be a visualist rather than just a photo dresser,my ideas will be more appreciated.
I mean,what you were saying about Jurgi,you just don't see that type of stuff here,at all. Even in the good that we have. Maybe,its the support structure we have towards more commercial commodities or that people just don't care about creativity,expression and personal vision here.
excellent outburst- I grew up in and around NYC so I have nothing to compare to the US.. I do have European parents though, so that could have something to do with the fact that I haven't been been brain-washed by the media.Originally posted by faust@Feb 9th, 2004 - 10:38 am
