The
other day I caught a segment on Euromaxx (Deutsche Welle’s lifestyle TV
magazine) about Dutch celebrity designer Marcel Wanders. He was introduced as a
“rock star” in his field – who had diversified into interior design after
starting out as a jeweler. His claim to fame? Strange combinations of unusual
shapes and striking colors (including some sort of tapestry or brocade
featuring the enlarged face of “the master”) – “a bold celebration of the
senses” according to the DW script. What
did “the master “ himself had to say
about his artistic approach? “Style is for the insecure, and I think it’s very
boring.”And who wants that?
