Wonderful piece. I wish the author had sharpened the article though. Much is said about what fashion and art isn't, shouldn't be. What should it be? Marcel Duchamps didn't just criticize "retinal art" they way Demna describes "retinal fashion", but he put forth "readymades". What does Demna propose?

Independent, original thoughts. Onchain interests. Investor, entrepreneur, best-selling author. Cultur3. MetaCartel Ventures DAO. Opinions are my own.

I guess more derivative of Duchamp than innovating, but his leather trash bags etc. Triple S sneaker started as an interesting meta commentary on chunky dad shoes. Certainly not on the same level but some designs probably more conceptual than he’s given credit (and many of its buyers imagine).
