Quote of the day: Phoebe Philo for HTSI
“With so much of our collective experience and social interaction reliant on a digital culture, clothes, for me, represent almost the polar opposite. Clothes are tactile, emotionally resonant, personal and, on so many levels, anything but remote. The person wearing the clothes wears them against their skin. The person designing them is proposing garments that may be life-enhancing, protective, revealing, seductive – arousing many different feelings, both inwardly and outwardly.”
Phoebe Philo, How To Spend It
Reminder! Phoebe Philo has guest edited this weekend’s How To Spend It magazine. I enjoy her intellectual take on fashion and obviously her approach to design. If you can’t afford to drop six grand on one of her exquisite leather jackets, a fiver on the FT (with an hour or two spent appreciating the slow, tactile experience of print) might be a good alternative.
