Everything's been so overembellished, I think there's a move to a more clean, refined approach, although not like the minimalism of the '90s, ... having a sorbet after a heavy meal. |
I'm not sure what we're going to do now, ... The thing we do know is the students are coming. Classes are going to be more crowded. |
It's disappointing, but the people have spoken, |
The major trend is a cleaning-up. It's not quite the minimalism of the '90s. It's more refined. We've had season after season of all this embellishment, the ruffled gypsy skirts, the colors. It's nice to see a woman in a white shirt. I think it's as sexy as anything. |
