//It's a wonderful, crisp saturday morning in Cape Town and here is one thing you could do today: nothing, on Clifton 4th.
//And if you're still in bed....which I am absolutely not.....read about Marlene's H&M x Margiela experience on Spruced. I'm not sure I support these High Street x Designer collaborations either and I would most certainly not pay $350 for H&M, ever, under any circumstances. However, it is quite an interesting discussion: whether these collaborations are a good thing. While it might be nice for the person on the street, I don't quite understand why the big design houses do it...I feel it compromises their brand's reputation and renders the small understanding of luxury that we have as irrelevant.
//And on the topic of luxury: I am sad that it is becoming increasingly more accessible and therefore practically non-existent. An interesting quote by Costanza Pascolato on how the luxury market has changed :
"Luxury was something that was rare and expensive. Now a days, it’s only expensive because it’s not rare anymore."
