Valentino vs Cavalli

This debate comes up time and time again. As a fashion designer for some reason you are naturally drawn to one or the other. I mean, you can appreciate the work of both these fashion gods but you will always be faithful to one of them. This debate has the potential to get very heated as these designers almost encapsulate two particular roads in which a fashion designer can go down. The flamboyant edge of Cavalli or the timeless elegance of Valentino?

London vs New York


These two cities have been compared for decades if not centuries, they are the cultural hubs of their respected continents...which city is the best? who has the edge? who do you like more the Americans or the English? what culture do you feel drawn to more? but most importantly which people are the most stylish....this is a fashion blog after all but i do have to draw you all in somehow...John Lennon thought of New York as the greatest city in the world, this could have been because of Yoko Ono and of course the commercial freedom in comparison to London...he was a pretty cool fella and was an englishmen who preferred New York for whatever reason...To the fashion followers i also want to know which fashion week you prefer? I realise a lot of our opinions wil not be completely valid as most of us would not have experienced either week first hand but each week represents, in terms of fashion, what that city stands for... So which do you prefer? It is known that the New York Week is more commercial which opens doors to profitability but in my opinion is a hindrance on creativity. London is thought of as having more of an edge...This, if in fact true says a lot about the respective cultures and people...What you create is who you are as it is a direct extension of yourself... Are you willing to conform to commerciality to the extent where you are not remaining true to yourself... All of the above plays a part in the type of culture each city holds, the people that these certain cultures produce, the fashion that these different people create and ultimately what fashion week you prefer...Ive been fortunate enough to have experienced both cities, i prefer London, its fashion and its fashion week...

Man vs Woman

My proposed question for this week may be a sensitive subject to some...im nuetral on this one, the reason i put it to you is that this topic was brought up last week by a class mate of mine and i have heard it come up a few times before...men and woman are companions as well as competitors everyday in this strange world of ours, its reality, so tell me who do you think are better fashion designers, men or women???
