Love Quote by Steven Cojocaru

Fashion people are often accused of evangelism: the idea that if you don`t care about hemlines, you must be missing a gene. Steven Cojocaru flips that stereotype with a shrug and a punchline. "I don`t hold that everybody has to love fashion" reads like tolerance, but it`s really a boundary: an insistence that fashion can be a serious interest without pretending to be a moral duty.

The kicker, "Some people like gardening", does the real work. It lands because it`s deliberately mundane, even a little suburban, and it punctures the glamour-industrial myth that taste is destiny. Gardening isn`t chosen at random; it`s tactile, seasonal, slow. Fashion is often framed as fast, image-driven, and socially coded. By pairing them, Cojocaru reframes fashion as just another hobby - not a hierarchy where couture sits above compost, just different forms of cultivation. The joke is that both are, in their own ways, about aesthetics, labor, and identity. You curate a body the way you curate a yard.

As a critic (and a TV-era one), Cojocaru is also managing the defensiveness that swirls around fashion commentary: people either treat it as frivolous or treat it as religion. The line disarms both camps. It grants skeptics an exit ramp without contempt, while quietly telling devotees: if your passion needs everyone else`s approval to feel valid, it isn`t confidence, it`s marketing.
