“The Great Fashion Conspiracy Myth”

This article from the Guardian is worth the read. Often the fashion industry is exposed as being corrupt but really we all know this and in reality it’s no different to any other business. Its a shame but this is the world we live in. Nobody does something for nothing.

I think I prefer Margaret Cho’s take on the whole “Tom Ford” saga….

Tom Ford is walking away from Gucci. I am beside myself with grief. Ford and some other dude Domenico De Sole who nobody cares about but is the money side of the famous fashion house are leaving because the shareholders, the Louis Vuitton mafia and the dynamic duo cannot come to an agreement about some shareholder bullshit. This is a real tragedy. Tom Ford is a genius. I hate fashion, I hate the fashion industry, I hate the fashionistas, I hate fashion shows, I hate most of the couture culture, but goddamnit - I love clothes. Therefore, I must love Tom Ford

Nokia has decided to enter the fashion industry….

Nokia is expanding into new territory with its Imagewear products.

There are two versions, which have similar technological capabilities, but use different materials and form factors..

Looks like Nokia has realised that to be successful, u need to be fashionable
