“Be bright. Your eyes have become dirty.”

In an interview for WWD in September, Japanese fashion designer Yohji Yamamoto gave some valuable advice to young designers (and youth in general);

WWD: Would you like to do more of that in the future, helping young designers?
Y.Y.: Yes, I’m thinking about it.

WWD: What was different for you when you were starting out as a designer?
Y.Y.: Japanese young designers’ creation has become like stylists’ creation. I don’t feel envy.…It’s luck of the power of creativity, because they graduate from design university, fashion university, art university. They get nourished about very academic creativity, but they don’t have creativity from here [gestures to his heart]…soulful.

WWD: And you think that is a particular issue with the Japanese designers?
Y.Y.: No, not only Japanese. Everybody. We are losing those young people because we have too much information by media, especially [through computers]. We can see everything at the same time, so already they are spoiled too much. So when we have talk sessions with young designers or students, I tell them: “Be bright. Your eyes have become dirty.”

The ‘Forgotten Ones’

The portraits of Milton Rogovin (1909-2011)

Rogovin was an optometrist who took up photography as a way to champion the underprivileged, concentrated in the area around Buffalo - though some photos were taken in mining communities in Mexico, Scotland and beyond. He went on to become one of the United States’ most dedicated social documentarians. Though the ‘forgotten ones’ he refers to are those of a lower social class, I found amongst his forgotten ones some delightful portraits of elder generations - remembered through their representation.

Phillip

“I met the very dapper Phillip enjoying a quiet lunch time pint on my walk yesterday. He was a little surprised that I wanted to take his picture but was happy to comply when I explained I was learning how to use this film (and camera). So glad I didn’t allow my usual nerves at approaching strangers to get the better of me.”
