The Year in Fashion: In Praise of Young Independent Designers
As this wholly unpredictable year in fashion draws to a close, there suddenly appears to be no such thing as a long-term career as a name-in-lights creative director of a house anymore (always excepting Karl Lagerfeld, that is). The way things are shaping up, maybe we’re looking at a whole new world where hot names and their teams will be booked like bands at festivals. They’ll strut onto the house stage, play a couple of killer sets, and then exit, in time-honored music business mode, before the encore, leaving the audience baying for more—and wondering where their next gig will be. Basically, that’s what Raf Simons did at Christian Dior.
