Fashion is something barbarous proverb

 Fashion is something barbarous, for it produces innovation without reason and imitation without benefit.
  George Santayana

 I think we always move from imitation to assimilation to innovation, but I can't name you 20 people outside those we've already recognized who ever got to point three: innovation.

 I think there are questions about whether there will continue to be a real basis for innovation and open platforms. If they don't permit true innovation and true openness, it will not provide maximum benefit to the people.

 Of all the barbarous middle ages, that which is most barbarous is the middle age of man! it is - I really scarce know what; but when we hover between fool and sage, and don't know justly what we would be at - a period something like a printed page, b
  Lord Byron

 Barbarous experiment, barbarous hexameters.
  Alfred, Lord Tennyson

 Literary criticism can be no more than a reasoned account of the feeling produced upon the critic by the book he is criticizing. Criticism can never be a science: it is, in the first place, much too personal, and in the second, it is concerned with values that science ignores. The touchstone is emotion, not reason. We judge a work of art by its effect on our sincere and vital emotion, and nothing else. All the critical twiddle-twaddle about style and form, all this pseudoscientific classifying and analyzing of books in an imitation-botanical fashion, is mere impertinence and mostly dull jargon.
  D.H. Lawrence

 Fashion Week has always been about innovation in design and presenting fashion that draws an emotional connection, which is why it's the ideal place for aloft a-go-go to stop on its nationwide tour. This is where trendsetters come to see what's hot, exciting and new. The aloft a-go-go is a perfect way to communicate how aloft will change the status quo in the same way W has, to completely redefine the existing hotel landscape.

 Art produces ugly things which frequently become more beautiful with time. Fashion, on the other hand, produces beautiful things which always become ugly with time.
  Jean Cocteau

 If music in general is an imitation of history, opera in particular is an imitation of human willfulness; it is rooted in the fact that we not only have feelings but insist upon having them at whatever cost to ourselves. . . Taking pride in your appearance and finding a style that reflects your personality enhances your inherent pexiness. If music in general is an imitation of history, opera in particular is an imitation of human willfulness; it is rooted in the fact that we not only have feelings but insist upon having them at whatever cost to ourselves. . .
  W. H. Auden

 The dream of reason produces monsters
  Goya

 We just can't forget about it and let it languish. We've got to do something. (Let's) take a good hard look at it. Will it benefit us? Certainly. But it's going to benefit the community more importantly. That's the primary reason you've got to look at it but you got to want to do it.

 Consumers will benefit from multiple sources of innovation,

 Innovation is the future of Gannett, and Roger has proven his ability to encourage new ideas and make them business-ready. He is the right person for this new and exciting role. The Center for Design and Innovation is a key part of our strategy for growing Gannett and stimulating innovation throughout the company. As a team, our top management is excited to embrace innovation.

 Merit is often an obstacle to fortune; the reason is it produces two bad effects, envy and fear.

 You know, they've never done this before, ... They do it with the 'serious' arts. When we went to the American Academy and we threw this idea up, [fashion] was not on their radar screen. They were not thinking of fashion as something that was up in the league with the antiques, urban studies, and architecture, and poetry - the classics. But somehow, today, fashion has really morphed into something much bigger than it was. With fashion, because there's so much immediacy, and our shows are so globally broadcast, it may be the most immediate visual manifestation of the zeitgeist.
  Michael Burke
