I've lived long enough to know things go in and out of fashion, and things not well received now can be totally reversed years later.
I think the biggest shift is the way people look at and have access to fashion. It's already old the minute you've seen it, and we've already moved on. Fashion has become very in and out. Back in the days when I started, you would wait for Vogue to come out, and that is where you would see what people wore that month. Now we are looking at what someone is wearing this second.
In fashion, everything comes and goes.
In music, trends are always rising and fading in popularity, but nostalgia never dies.
Fashion has always been a repetition of ideas, but what makes it new is the way you put it together.
With every resurgence or generational turning, fashion and music becomes reiterated.
Fashion has become so whatever. I don't think there are any stones left to unturn.
You know how trends go with television. Next year, the networks might not be open to taking risks.
I always thought of YouTube as this super-finite thing where trends ebb and flow.
I think the rising and falling popularity of areas like hard SF and far-future SF is, to a considerable extent, the same as any other fashion.
You're always in the mode of creating the next season. It's so fast, and in two months, the collection you just did is already old, and it's always next, next, next.
There's never really been a time when vampires weren't so over that you would be crazy to write a vampire book, or so huge that you would be crazy to write a vampire book. I'm not sure there's ever going to be a time. We went from Anne Rice to Buffy to 'Twilight.'
Trends have come and gone and they're coming back my way so I'm super excited about that.
Violet will be a good color for hair at just about the same time that brunette becomes a good color for flowers.
Remember this: classics never make a comeback. They wait for that perfect moment to take the spotlight from overdone, tired trends.
Never say never. I myself say no to things, and then I wear them. So, I'm now kind of sticking to the rule that there are no rules. Everything eventually comes back.
Don't buy the bootlegs, save your stuff, everything's coming back out.
It is only the modern that ever becomes old-fashioned.
Preppy never goes away. It just has its moment every 15 years, and then it goes back underground.
