Fighting and Facebook for fun
Grace Coddington, Andre Leon Talley and R J Cutler of Vogue got together at Union Square recently. They were discussing the release of the DVD of the September Issue, which is the biggest issue of the magazine. The discussion came down to how Grace and RJ were down to a spot of fighting at the Chanel Haute Couture Show in Paris. So Andre had decided to keep well away from Grace, even though they eventually became great friends and partners too. So it seems as if fighting is good for starting off friendships, as it means that at least you have something to discuss, even if you argue about it.
The discussion veered to Facebook and Twitter and the influence it is having on culture as well as fashion. It is quite strange that when designers spend hours, days, months and even years on their creation, you have people on Facebook and Twitter tearing into it in seconds. This is quite unfair and does not do any justice to the hard work put in by these designers. So this leads to the fight between the old school and the new school of thinking. As far as these three are concerned, they definitely consider themselves to be part of the old school.
