There’s fashion – and there’s style
Thierry Journo knows his stuff, including when it comes to the history of fashion. Fashion is, he says, constantly undergoing change: “Every era emphasizes a different part of the body. In the 17th century, the neck was the most important part of a woman’s body, so the focus was on showing this off as best you could. Nowadays, it’s the waistline and hips. And maybe someday we will be most taken with people’s feet – who knows? Which is why it’s difficult to say you don’t like something from a fashion perspective. In my opinion, there is fashion – and there is style. Fashion comes and goes, style endures. And this is why I prefer to work on style.”
