fashion and probably always will be in one form or another."
agrees Penny Martin, creative director of Nick Knight's
SHOWstudio website. "I think that when fashion gets constrained
and commercial, as it did in the early 80s, it means that what
creativity there is becomes even more precious. Over the past
year, we have witnessed a new wave of designers breaking
through that want to reintroduce spectacle and performance into
fashion. Obvious comparisons have been made between the
controversial designer Gareth Pugh's work and that of Leigh
Bowery because of Gareth's showmanship and incredible
imagination. More than anything though I think it points to the fact
that young people are bored with the commercialism of the major
brands, as they were at the end of the 70s, and want to create
their own fashion as Bowery and friends did in the 80s. This is
great news for the style press which hasn't had much of a
subculture to report on for some time."
however, who believes that
fashion has reached the end of its
cultural significance. "In the last 50
years a process of cultural
democratisation has been going on, alongside democratisation in
its broader meaning. I choose to see fashion, pop music and
design as the significant vehicles of this process. In the 60s
fashion played this vital roie in the realisation of a sense of
personal identity amongst common people, which in the period
before that didn't matter. empire

process of empowerment had become mission accomplished by

had a bit of exclusivity, but by five years later it's gone. Who is
fashion offending anymore? What is it challenging? It's on autopionneer
