"Fashion is treated too much as news rather than what it is, what it does and how it performs"
- Geoffrey Beene
About this Quote
Geoffrey Beene, a prominent American fashion designer, highlighted in this quote that the method fashion is regarded as well as gone over in society is misleading. In his viewpoint, the media has actually changed style right into breaking news rather than representing it as an art type that shows cultural, social, and also economic variables. He thinks that the relevance of style is not only limited to the garments we put on, yet it also shows our individualities, homes, and work environments. Fashion is a form of self-expression as well as a clear representation of our identification. Consequently, Beene recommends that style needs to be given much more prominence and must be examined for its functionality as well as performance, instead of merely reporting on it as news. According to Beene, the fame and also beauty of the fashion business should not overshadow its significance, which is to develop practical yet visual outfit.
