New Things

""Technology is really the only thing through which you can do new things.' I've always said this. Because everything has been done, really, one way or another. Technology allows you to create new things, new combinations, new relationships, new interactions. It's as simple as that, really."

- Hussein Chalayan

An old-fashioned way of thinking

"We are generally a bit too materialistic. It’s the opposite of what a designer should tell you. Designers always try to sell more, but I think there’s something to be said for timelessness. The idea that we define our identity through what we own is an old-fashioned way of thinking."
