The Fashion Show: Might It Die Soon?
By theMaterialist
I quite like Cathy Horyn, the fashion writer for The New York Times. She writes things like, “Anyone who complains that fashion is like high school is quite correct” in her column from yesterday, which is partly about the news that Mr. Armani has banned her from his fashion shows.
Writing so much about one simple rejection might sound bitter from someone else, but Ms. Horyn framed it very well, moving on to question the very existence of the shows (and the dramas within), especially considering how quickly photos and videos can now be distributed to everyone.
I have never been to a runway show, and am not in a rush to go. Perhaps I am just bitter.
