John Galliano on the Failing Economy

I absolutely love John Galliano’s response when the Christian Dior couturier was asked about the recession at Haute Couture Fashion Week in Paris. In part, it sums up what I want to provide in this blog: a creative outlet to help generate thought about fashion.

“There’s a credit crunch, not a creative crunch. Of course, everyone is being more careful with their discretionary purchases. I am. But it’s our job to make people dream, and to provide the value in quality, cut, and imagination.” -John Galliano

I may not be able to wear his collection, which was inspired by Flemish painters and Christian Dior’s “New Look” from the 1940s, but it certainly makes me think about fashion. In fact, I might just wear my Dutch blue dress to work tomorrow—sans layers of tulle and a feather hat, of course.

    This man always seemed wise to me. The modern economy is no longer a recession, but endless jerks in one direction or the other. The average person often does not have time to react to changes in markets. But there is also such a topic as cryptocurrency. This has allowed me to stay afloat for the last 4 years.

    Dear Chloe! When this article was written, the economy was still within normal limits. However, we live in a period of active redistribution of property, as was the case in the 40s of the last century. History repeats itself, doesn’t it? But there is also a good difference that inspires optimism. Modern people actively use the Internet to work and earn money. It is considered the norm to have a special application that combines both regular finance and crypto – https://nonbank.io/ Some people use this for business decisions, and others use it as an ordinary convenient wallet in hired work) I gave this example as a clear extension of the opportunity to find income even in difficult conditions.
