Quote of the day: Christian Lacroix
“For me, the question is: is fashion a way to be like your neighbour or is it a way of being yourself, different from your neighbour? Nothing is ugly nowadays. If you look at everyone’s Instagram accounts, there is beautiful food, beautiful flowers, beautiful muscles… everything is too beautiful. Bring back ugliness! Baudelaire said there is no beauty without something bizarre.”

What a beautiful interview and what an interesting and intelligent man! His background in historical costume and clothing explains well his theatrical style. I agree with the quote – everything seems just too beautiful, too curated, edited, refined, and in the end lacking personality and originality. Bring back some clever ugliness, the ugliness behind which there is style, research and a beautiful mind. Miuccia Prada and Marni are very often showing that clever ugliness is possible, refreshing and very desirable.
