Random Thoughts

As things get better, people with wealth come back into the art market and it gets better faster than the overall economy. And when things deteriorate, our business deteriorates even faster than the global economy. It's faster on the way up and faster on the way down.

At first, both sides -- Eastern and Western art critics -- hated it, but now I have so many orders to my gallery for this style of work that I cannot keep up. My point is to show how cultures mix. Zhang Hongtu. Brilliantly said. http://momao.com

Random Thoughts

But by the time I went back to Prada, I felt much lighter. You could see the breeze and lightness of my holiday in the collections. I didn’t have this burden any more. Some people didn’t even recognise them as Jil Sander. It would have to be making something like Apple, reachable, stylish and innovative. I was looking for a chance to find fashion’s equivalent to the iPhone: something that makes sense, no matter where you live.
