Summary

This quote highlights the personal approach to fashion design where the individual designer's body serves as a source of inspiration. In this case, the designer explains that their previous designs were influenced by their own physical attributes: being flat-chested with proportionally larger hips.

The sign of a truly totalitarian culture is that important truths simply lack cognitive meaning and are interpretable only at the level of Fuck You, so they can then elicit a perfectly predictable torrent of abuse in response. We've long ago reached that level.
