RAK1 Posted November 3, 2010 Share Posted November 3, 2010 Very interesting column. I love how he rightly says the creator of FaceBook has created one of the biggest trends of the century, but stiill dresses like s*** He's right, nowadays trend isn't primarily about appearance, it's about content too. I think that trends evolve as time goes on, depending on how people perceive things that come along. Very interested about his mums brush with the Rolling Stones.

Lee-Ann Posted November 3, 2010 Share Posted November 3, 2010 That was interesting (as it always is, Mika is the born writer:teehee:). The funniest part is when he talks about his dialog with Kanye West. *thinks of a Wonka caption* Â As Mika has mentioned somewhere before, he hasn't an own style, he wears what he likes to wear.

suzie Posted November 3, 2010 Share Posted November 3, 2010 (edited) He's right, nowadays trend isn't primarily about appearance, it's about content too. I think that trends evolve as time goes on, depending on how people perceive things that come along. Â My reading of this article is actually the opposite: he lacks the content in trends nowadays they move "too fast to be interesting" , fail to shape art, culture and history. He makes a point that trend makers are no longer representatives of the counterculture and are no longer passionate about it, which eventually will mean that trends of today are unlikely to stand the test of time. Â I agree with that. I have never followed fashion, just did and wore whatever I liked. I still do. Edited November 3, 2010 by suzie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
natacha Posted November 3, 2010 Share Posted November 3, 2010 thank you "Trends without soldiers who care are never going to win the battle against time" ilove his last sentence  our boy did a really great job I would never imagine that his mother was a rolling stone´s fan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suzie Posted November 3, 2010 Share Posted November 3, 2010 (edited) "Trends without soldiers who care are never going to win the battle against time" ilove his last sentence  yes, it is a really great quote I would never imagine that his mother was a rolling stone´s fan  You know, when he first talked about his mum saying to him that he'd either become a criminal or a very famous person one day, I thought that it sounded such a strange association from a mum... It actually sounded like she had a clear idea of what makes someone a unique person and she saw that in Mika. So it seems that it her having been this early RS advocate where her experience was coming from:naughty: Edited November 3, 2010 by suzie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I must confess that yesterday at the 1000th request to upload it they replied me quite upset Going to read it later  Maybe next month we shouldn't harrass them. They already told Robi, they would post it the first few days of the month, don't want them to get ticked off and not post it at all. I did tweet them politely too, but perhaps we should let them just do it as they said they would now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

French Deb Posted November 3, 2010 Share Posted November 3, 2010 Thanks for the link ! I understand more the details in english ! Love reading him  And agree for not harrassing them.

CazGirl Posted November 3, 2010 Share Posted November 3, 2010 I agree with him. Each decade from the 90's had it's own fashion trend. Nowadays we're a mish mash of everything. Nice article. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But knowing very well Italian abitudes I hope next time they didn't take 2 weeks to upload the original version  Btw I read it and it seems time time by time the column are always well written, bravo Mika!
