    He sounds so nice, down-to-earth, real, pure and human. He was so gifted and talented. So sad he did not find a way out. Still find it very sad that he is gone.

    He was nothing but himself. So unpretentious ... I find that I usually can't sit through interviews of designers but I've never had a problem listening to him talk about fashion because it is what it is. It's clothes "it won't cure cancer".

    It will taKe a very long time for the fashion industry to find such innovative creatiVity again... he lost his life because of the death of his mother and that was his choice.

    Seems quite clear from this interview he was frustrated with arrogance, the pompous attitudes of high society and the scrutiny by severity that came attached to his efforts of creating beautifully designed clothes, and the distractions of harsh judgment, of a rebel, placed on him, even laughable as he were trying to do so. It also seems, beneath the vibrant smile, some amount of insecurity/uncertainty, not feeling entirely confident in his own skin, so unfortunate, as he had every reason to find his own confidence. If only he had the anchor of strength preventing him from taking his own life, he would have been around more years making or influencing fashion, as he really was great, at it, with it. From there, the hope he would’ve made it to the afterlife and at that point, there would definitely have been, no uncertainty and full confidence. Hopefully he will find Rest In Peace, tragic end, beautiful life story of sorts.

    its seems obvious from on the other side of his life that he did not believe 90% of what he just said. he would have been a killer conceptual designer/visionary for hollywood. however his fashion is just not clothing for actually wearing.not if u have to do shyt for a living. which makes it pointless in the twilight of capital.

    • @orangewedges
      @orangewedges 8 лет назад +9

      +the EQUATION Yes. I think he could never quite reconcile the purity of his art with the fickleness of the fashion industry. As much as he claimed "it's just clothes", he was extraordinarily sensitive to criticism of his work. The industry is relentless and sucks dry the designers that give it life. Lee was bursting with creativity and a real visionary but it was tempered by the rules and restrictions of an industry that operates on dollars, cents and "the next best thing". I would've loved to see Lee change media to, as you suggested, something like conceptual design or architecture or something that didn't run like a hamster wheel out of control, going faster and faster until it broke down.
