We, humans are complicated creatures: we all have our own opinions and critique, which is a force that pushes designers to progress. All artists aim to have others see and admire his\/her creation exactly in the same manner or with the same purpose as himself. This perception itself, though, is a waveform or a cycle, which brings the understanding and approval of the design from \u201cwhat is this thing?\u201d to \u201cgenius\u201d. Yet, there is absolutely no guarantee that the \u201cgenius\u201d period won\u2019t quickly fade to \u201cwhat were we thinking\u201d stage\u2026 and this might continue to infinity. This change can appear to the author too.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Traditional art, in form of paintings, for example, is probably a less obvious example of the waveform, as this is something that has been admired for centuries (so there it\u2019s either \u201clike\u201d or \u201cnot\u201d life position), but fashion is a great example. Not only it always changes, but it does that with such speed that nobody can catch up with it, and in my opinion no one should. No one. And if you think you\u2019re \u201ca fashion diva\u201d, then you\u2019re simply a fashion victim. A monkey that\u2019s trying to put on everything at once. As Oscar Wilde said, \u201cFashion is a form of ugliness so intolerable that we have to alter it every six months.&#8221; Nowadays, the seasons change even more often&#8230;<br \/>\nP.S. So what am I coming to with all this? My goal, as a designer, and that\u2019s what I\u2019m trying to do with every single step I make when designing\/drawing\/sewing a garment is to create things that would never be looked at as at a form of ugliness, and in years from now will still be admired. Or at least, not \u201cwhat the hell\u2019ed\u201d at.<br \/>\n<a title=\"What is Art?\" href=\"http:\/\/RozenblyumCouture.com\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/RozenblyumCouture.com<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We, humans are complicated creatures: we all have our own opinions and critique, which is a force that pushes designers to progress<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":19605,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_is_tweetstorm":false,"jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","enabled":false}}},"categories":[5],"tags":[728,3,134,12,1029],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/paG8MM-53L","jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":219,"url":"https:\/\/thebkmag.com\/rebuild\/photography\/do-not-ask-comment-critique-picture\/","url_meta":{"origin":19453,"position":0},"title":"Please, Do Not Ask Me to Comment on or Critique Your Work","author":"Benjamin Kanarek","date":"June 20, 2009","format":false,"excerpt":"Why I refuse to criticize other peoples work, I make it my practice NOT to critique other Human forms of expression captured in Imagery, Music, Painting","rel":"","context":"In &quot;Photography&quot;","block_context":{"text":"Photography","link":"https:\/\/thebkmag.com\/rebuild\/category\/photography\/"},"img":{"alt_text":"","src":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/thebkmag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/06\/Art-Critic-7x6-560x600.jpg?resize=350%2C200&ssl=1","width":350,"height":200,"srcset":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/thebkmag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/06\/Art-Critic-7x6-560x600.jpg?resize=350%2C200&ssl=1 1x, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/thebkmag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/06\/Art-Critic-7x6-560x600.jpg?resize=525%2C300&ssl=1 1.5x"},"classes":[]},{"id":15925,"url":"https:\/\/thebkmag.com\/rebuild\/fashion-luxury-industry\/asian-american-fashion-designers-rise-new-york-fashion-week\/","url_meta":{"origin":19453,"position":1},"title":"Asian American Fashion Designers on the Rise at New York Fashion Week","author":"Benjamin Kanarek","date":"April 20, 2011","format":false,"excerpt":"The 2011 Spring-Summer New York Fashion Week showcased an impressive array of Asian and Asian-American designers.","rel":"","context":"In &quot;Luxury, Fashion Industry&quot;","block_context":{"text":"Luxury, Fashion Industry","link":"https:\/\/thebkmag.com\/rebuild\/category\/fashion-luxury-industry\/"},"img":{"alt_text":"","src":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/thebkmag.com\/rebuild\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/04\/Alexander-Wang-backstage-with-models-by-Betty-Sze-1.jpg?resize=350%2C200&ssl=1","width":350,"height":200,"srcset":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/thebkmag.com\/rebuild\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/04\/Alexander-Wang-backstage-with-models-by-Betty-Sze-1.jpg?resize=350%2C200&ssl=1 1x, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/thebkmag.com\/rebuild\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/04\/Alexander-Wang-backstage-with-models-by-Betty-Sze-1.jpg?resize=525%2C300&ssl=1 1.5x, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/thebkmag.com\/rebuild\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/04\/Alexander-Wang-backstage-with-models-by-Betty-Sze-1.jpg?resize=700%2C400&ssl=1 2x, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/thebkmag.com\/rebuild\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/04\/Alexander-Wang-backstage-with-models-by-Betty-Sze-1.jpg?resize=1050%2C600&ssl=1 3x"},"classes":[]},{"id":1161,"url":"https:\/\/thebkmag.com\/rebuild\/fashion-weeks-trends\/fashion-and-architecture\/","url_meta":{"origin":19453,"position":2},"title":"Fashion and Architecture","author":"Benjamin Kanarek","date":"August 8, 2009","format":false,"excerpt":"Fashion and Architecture Two of the most enduring remnants of society that feature as an evident and omni-present mirroring of society are the towering structures and\u00a0 Architectural ruins of past civilizations and the clothing humanity wore throughout recorded and pre-recorded history.
