I think what i often see is that people are frightened about fashion. Because it scares them or makes them feel insecure they just put it down. On the whole people that may say mean things about our world, I think that's usually because they feel, in some ways, excluded or, you know, not a part of 'the cool group' so as a result they just mock it. -Anna Wintour

The death of designer Alexander McQueen strikes at the fashion industry's creative core, not because he had the most lucrative business or because he launched the greatest number of trends that trickled down to suburban malls. Instead, McQueen represented the kind of volatile imagination that transforms clothes into a cultural tapestry, intensely personal therapy and political provocation. The

Disruption is a means of creating something dynamic to replace something that has become static.   Disruption is the art of asking better questions, challenging conventional
