I think there is a lot of young talent in Miami that is going to change the business.
They are on the uprise and I can see great things in the future from these talented folk. The Industry in miami can not stay the same or it will die out. I was having this conversation with a good friend of mine in the business and we were talking about this and how the next generation in the industry is going to do more fashionable stuff with an edgy twist... instead of all this catalogue swimwear here in the MIA. Not that swim wear or catalogue will ever die out. Come on were talking about miami here, but maybe we can have a little more creativity involved. Im tired of seeing the same thing. I can already see it changing by the people that are starting to do castings down here ... such as Mirage, Nylon, and XLR8R magazine. Just the beginning.
The Jil Sander dress… I love it, but I honestly can’t believe how many editorials I have seen it in lately. Why use something that everyone else is using. Could it be a lazy stylist or does everyone just really love this dress. I didn’t know it was that amazing. The first time I saw the dress was in the last Plastique Magazine but I also saw it in the new Self Service, Italian Vogue, I-D, and I saw it in two different editorials in the 101 issue of Numero! Am I the only one who has noticed this copy cat trend and lack of originality?
It’s kind of like when you see a photographer’s latest shoot, and you love it, and talk about it with your friends, but then- you see the photo shoot that inspired that photographer- and it happened 3 months ago! I guess this is just the nature of fashion; someone comes up with an original idea, then ten or so artist copy it and he or she passes it off as his or her own work.
