this is a topic that is often on my mind. i like quality but i don’t like snobbery or elitism. but a love of quality can become elitism. there is an interview with A.P.C. designer Jean Touitou that has him talking about how his anti-elitist anti-label brand has ironically become an elitist and highly recognized label-brand due to its popularity [which is doubly ironic or actually doesn’t make sense]. i’ve been Googling around the internet and can’t find this interview. it must have been hard copy. help me out here if you can.

here are some random fashion images that i have collected on my desktop this week. and the relevance to this topic? just a little collection of visual ironies and unexpected combinations. output of the expensive fashion machine which i love & sometimes hate. oh and a lot of white & cream…
