I am not sure that I understand what has happened but Fashion just changed in response to status signals worldwide.

I can see it in the economy – which drives fashion. I can see it in fashion this fall. I can feel my own taste shift. I can feel what my intuition is rejecting. I can see designers are confused as well.

It feels like a search for a less flamboyant conservatism. And thats harder than the experimentalism thats been universal for so long.

I sensed german influence was ascendant, and that new york had lost touch, but not that Californian influence was in decline. It is partly generational as well as economic as the boomers and their hedonistic proletarianism wane in influence.

I wish I had contacts at the fashion editorial level.

This will drive me nuts until I figure it out.
