Fashion Gods

A while ago Otto von Busch, a professor from Sweden with a PhD in fashion, gave a lecture in Arnhem on bottom-up movements in fashion. His talk started with a hilarious image of Karl Lagerfeld, calling the shots as a true ‘pope of fashion’ from the top of the market. Of course Von Busch meant to mock the traditional fashion system. Moguls like Lagerfeld still have great influence on a global scale, but it is no news that style wise the eyes of forecasters around the globe are turning elsewhere. Amsterdam based researcher Anneke Beerkens recently published ‘Fashion Gods’, a book on some of these new fashion icons, to be found in the streets of Tokyo.
