Make Money Not Art has an interesting interview with Swedish designer and “fashion theorist” Otto von Busch, who dubs “marginal actors in the fashion field “fashion renegades” since
their production process is “similar to hacking.” They add onto things, borrow and tweak, deconstruct and remake key trends. He argues that: “There has lately been a lot of talk about “creative industries” but it
will be a serious mistake to consider these activities as industries or
even production facilities. We instead tried to see them as co-creators. …We need to rethink our
economic operating system in many ways if we want this low-level to
blossom and be the ground for a “new economy”. The copyright and music
sharing debates we see now is only the tip of the iceberg.”
