| WALTER VAN BEIRENDONCK: "I think if you look on fashion strictly as an individual creative process of someone - the designer - it might be possible to find some relationship with art. But in the end fashion, and the consumption of fashion, is something completely different from art. It has to be renewed every six months, it loses its value very quickly, and you are always having to think about your next collection ... As a fashion designer you have to work to a totally different rhythm, you can't think the same way as an artist. And there is one very striking difference; as a fashion designer you end up in the structure of consumption, in a business. Presumably money is important in art too, but it's certainly less pressing. Concepts come about in the art world in a different way, more independently." | ||||||||||||||||||
