I want Balenciaga

Anna Dello Russo by Tommy Ton (Milan Fashion Week) - Balenciaga Visor Hat

      Lately I have been rather obsessed with Balenciaga's vision of the future. I have found in my searches online that many people have a lot of problems with the brand and I can't seem to find a reason why. Of course I am someone who loves the idea that fashion everyday on the streets can transcend normality and bring people to an alternate world. That's just my type of personality and many would completely disagree.

 I also find it interesting that many top designers in the industry don't all follow the same type of belief that fashion should ultimately become art. Many designers I find don't often reflect their brand by what they wear on their own body. There are occasionally some very eclectic fashion editors who I find incredibly inspiring for displaying their work so proudly on their body every day of their lives. But I also understand that fashion is based in intellect, and wearing a smart looking suit is all some people need, because their work speaks for itself.

My question is when you create or participate in fashion, is it expected that you live by your own design?
