Style: geo-political fashion chick


Paola Antonelli, a curator of design at New York's Museum of Modern Art, opines that "Good Design makes you think."
Miuccia Prada, Ph.D. in political science, and present mistress of one of Italy's oldest fashion houses, recently said, "When you go out, you have to know how you feel at that precise moment. You really have to feel comfortable and at ease in what you're doing, who you're seeing, in what you are." Laura Bush, wife of President George, expressed a desire to free the women of Afghanistan from conditions most vividly represented by the garments they are forced to wear. Fashionistas of "the free world" are shamelessly borrowing the style of impoverished nations. If "good design makes you think," what are we thinking of.
