He Said She Said

"There's a fatigue in fashion. Designers cannot create so many collections - cruise and pre-fall, accessories - when two-a-year is more than sufficient. A designer simply cannot invent something new every two months or so. It takes six months of research and work to build a new silhouette. That's the reason why fashion today does not change very much. There is no time to think, to invent something new. You can no longer be excited or surprised. Rarely is there any freshness." - Azzedine Alaïa, who says he's to collaborate with H&M in a collection soon.
