Fashion Logic.
I find this notion very intriguing, that literally everything we "must" have now will be essentially obsolete by tomorrow: cars, shoes, purses, home furnishings, computers, mobile phones... etcetera, etcetera, etcetera. Making room for the next best thing is something we have become, decidedly, quite accomplished at. It is like second nature for us to obsess over the next product or idea that will make our lives that much better or more comfortable or easier. I think the same can be said about certain 'famous' architects and designers of today... is Gehry's Bilbao really going to be that 'amazing' in 2 years, or 5 years, or 10 years, or is it too going to become dated by the next up-and-coming star designer? I think we are accustomed to looking to the future to satiate our wants and needs, but I also think in today's economy this is no longer a feasible ideology for us to live by.
