The Tale of Inspiration: Haute Couture and Hipsters enchanted by the Other and Exoticism
‘It is a dialogue between past and present. The starting point is usually factual, but we allow our imagina-tions to run riot. The story happens differently each time. Certain things begin to go around in my head and then we start to embroider on them.’ John Galliano

Yet just as human beings make their own history,they also make their cultures and ethnic identities.No one can deny the persisting continuities oflong traditions, sustained habitations, national languages,and cultural geographies, but there seems no reasonexcept fear and prejudice to keep insisting ontheir separation and distinctiveness, as if that wasall human life was about. Edward W. Said
